To: Region 3 ExCom Fr: David Green, Region 3 Secretary Sb: Secretary's Report Dt: 23 March 2008 The Region 3 meeting information, agendas, and reports received are on-line at https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings/2008-0304/agendas.html Beginning with the February ExCom meeting, I have made changes to both the "style" and the workflow for handling agendas so let me know if you find errors. Filenames for repeating elements should be more consistent in the future. I have also modified the look a bit to be closer to IEEE's present pages. I did not go to the extremes they have in order to keep the file size small and clean. Since members have only recently received the ExCom minutes from February, the approval of the minutes is an action item rather than a consent agenda item. As noted in the e-mail invitation sent to members of the ExCom (and CC'ed to the Region Committee), the ExCom will be trying a new communications bridge at the next ExCom. This bridge accommodates 50 participants and allows Skype users special access such that there are no per-minute charges for the Region (or the Skype user). The bridge does accommodate normal dialers but hopefully most can move to Skype either this meeting or the next meeting. Since 1998, the Region 3 ExCom meeting announcements, agendas, and minutes have been posted to the web under the structure https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings . Under this space is a directory yyyy-mm or yyyy-m1m2 (yyyy is year, mm is month, m1m2 is month 1 and month 2 if the meeting spanned the boundary between months). Thanks to everyone for the commitment you have made towards making IEEE a valuable member-driven organization! Dave -- David G. Green d.green @ ieee.org IEEE Region 3 Secretary (98-08)
