- IEEE BoD Action
Taken at 6/25/00 Meeting
-
- As a result of the IEEE Board of Directors meeting held on
June 25, 2000 at
- Vancouver, BC, I have selected the following items which
may have a
- major impact on our Region, Areas/Councils, and
Sections/Chapters.
-
- 1. Approved the Executive Committee’s recommendation,
mandating
- that current policy and procedures be enforced, requiring
all
- geographic unit and conference investments to be in the
IEEE
- Investment Fund which is overseen by the IEEE Investment
Committee.
- (B79)
-
- 2. Approved the Executive Committee’s recommendation,
mandating
- that, effective after 1 July 2000, all geographic unit and
conference
- contracts with an expected value in excess of $25,000 be
executed by
- the Procurement Department at the Operations Center.
(B80)
-
- 3. Approved the Executive Committee’s recommendation,
mandating
- the use of concentration bank accounts as the only bank
accounts
- for all U.S.-based geographic units and conferences and, to
the
- maximum extent possible, non-U.S. geographic units and
conferences,
- effective after 1 July 2000 with at least the U.S. portion
expected to be
- completed by year-end 2000. (B81)
-
-
- Of minor importance the following is provided for your
information:
-
- 4. Approved revisions to IEEE Bylaws I-109 – Entities
and I-304 – Major
- Entities, and requested that appropriate conforming changes
be
- made throughout the IEEE Bylaws, IEEE Policy and Procedures
Manual,
- operations manuals, and other documentation of the Major
Boards.
- References to “entity” should be changed to
“organizational unit”,
- and “major entity” to “major board.”
(B29)
-
- 5. A stand-alone Board of Directors meeting will be held in
December
- 2000. An Entity Series will continue to be held in Tampa,
Florida in
- November 2000. This separate Board of Directors meeting
format will
- also be followed for February 2001 only, at which time it
will be
- evaluated and a decision will be made about the November
2000
- meetings. (B77)

- Region 3 E-Conf
On IEEE Concentration Banking Account
-
- Last week I sent a message indicating several actions taken
by the IEEE
- Board of Directors. I have decided to utilize some of the
techniques that
- have been developed in the e-Conferencing Project to
analyze the problems
- and potential solutions in the implementation of
Concentration Banking
- Accounts (CBA) throughout Region 3. Since this will impact
every section
- and chapter within Region 3 I urge your participation to
assist in
- optimizing the benefits of the implementation for everyone
involved. Your
- voice will be heard.. In order to set the stage for the
next steps of this
- process, I would like to share some of my views..
-
- The implementation of CBA can be very beneficial to the
Institute and to the
- various units such as the Region, Areas/Councils, and
Sections/Chapters by
- allowing better visibility and control of their financial
operation and
- aiding the operation of the Institute as a non profit
organization;
- however, having said that, it does not mean that the
implementation is
- without problems. I am therefore requesting that we
concentrate our effort
- in defining the implementation issues / problems and
recommend appropriate
- solutions. Region 3 has participated in the beta testing of
CBA for several
- years and has a wealth of knowledge and insight that only
you can provide.
-
- One of our major goals in Region 3 is to widen the
participation in defining
- problems and developing solutions that will benefit not
only the region but
- all of IEEE. This is your opportunity to help.
-
- We are going to utilize the work of the e-Conferencing
Committee which will
- nearly eliminate the need for face to face meetings and
reduce the time it
- takes to develop our response. The use of the news group
and e-mail for
- asynchronous work and chat for synchronous meetings will
form the base of
- the technology. I urge you to draw on the resources of the
e-Conference
- Committee to aid you in "getting up to speed"
- https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/e-conf/
-
- Since this effort is another first for Region 3, additional
material will be
- distributed shortly to help define the parameters of our
working together in
- a distributed mode using the internet. The first
e-conference on August 3,
- 2000 at 9:00 -10:00 PM EDST will serve as an introduction
and I urge you to
- attend. ( Details and agenda for the meeting will
follow.)
-
- If you have any questions, comments, etc. please contact me
so we can
- proceed with this very critical process.
-
