The electronic services used by IEEE volunteers includes E-mail, mailing
lists, Newsgroups, Web services, TWiki Site, IRC, eNotice, aliases,
Region 3 OnLine Community, the Region 3 Meeting server, 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 and as
reported in March, I am working on details of an Organizational Unit
management system that may be a RAB tool for sections and regions in the
future. It may eventually be the basis for section reporting as well as
providing simple meeting management capabilities and integrate with
