Sb: Electronic Communications Coordinator Report 
Dt: January 9, 2005

I have agreed to continue to work with Communications Chair Bill
Ratcliff, Vice Chair Bill Clayton,  Webmaster Chip Dawson, Newsletter
Editor Quang Tang and many others this year to help facilitate
communications for IEEE service to the member.  I am serving as the
Electronic Communications Coordinator (ECC).

The electronic services used by IEEE volunteers includes E-mail, mailing
lists, Newsgroups, Web services, TWiki Site, IRC, aliases and as well as
experimental capabilities like richer conferencing environments and
collaboration services.

Speaking of the e-mail alias system... if you are new to your position
or are passing things to your successor, please let me know how things
should change.

As ECC, I serve on the RAB Section/Chapter Support Committee's subcommittee
for Electronic Communication (trying saying that three times!).  I am pleased
to note that our Communications Committee Chair has been selected to chair
this committee in 2005.

ECC Goals and objectives for 2005 include

1. Keeping the aliases current. 

2. Keeping the services functioning including 
   a. update to operating system on ie3col (or replacement)
   b. newsgroup revitalization (or elimination)
   
3. Be an active member on the Communications Committee

4. Assisting with various ECC items such as eNotice, mailing lists, etc.
