To: Region 3 ExCom 
Fr: David Green, Region 3 ECSC 
Sb: Electronic Communications Systems Coordinator Report 
Dt: 27 March 2006

I have agreed to continue to work with Communications Chair Bill Clayton, Webmaster Eric
Ackerman, 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 Systems Coordinator (ECSC). We have changed this position's title to
separate the Region function from the RAB liaison function of the ECC. The communications
chair will provide the RAB liaison function.

The electronic services used by IEEE volunteers includes E-mail, mailing lists, Newsgroups,
Web services, TWiki Site, IRC, eNotice, aliases, Region 3 OnLine Community and as well as
experimental capabilities like richer conferencing environments and collaboration services.
We are considering which services to retire (and which to add) to make sure we provide
appropriate support for Region 3 activities. One recently added service is BaseCampHQ
project management service to support the new Region 3 Initiatives.  In a related 
activity, I am working on details of an Organizational Unit management system that 
may be a RAB tool for sections and regions in the future.
