: TECHNICAL SYMPOSIA GRANTS OFFERED AGAIN IN 2002; Based on the success of last year's program, the IEEE Regional Activities; Board has approved limited funding a second year for Technical Symposia; grants of up to $500 for the year 2002. The purpose of the program is to; encourage IEEE geographic units to provide an opportunity for members to; participate in more intensive technical presentations than is possible in a; typical meeting, but short of a full-scale conference.; Guidelines are as follows:; 1. The Symposium is expected to last a full day and should include at least; 5 hours (300 minutes) of technical presentation.; 2. The Symposium should be planned or supported by at least one IEEE; Technical Society or Chapter.; 3. The proposal should include sufficient information about technical; content, possible speakers, and probable attendees to permit evaluation of; the proposal; 4. The proposal must include a budget for the Symposium.; 5. The grant will be provided after the IEEE RAB/TAB Section/ Chapter; Support Committee approves a proposal.; 6. A report must be provided within one month after the Symposium occurs.; The report may be brief, but should include specific information about the; program and a financial summary.; To apply, Sections and Chapters submitting proposals must be active and in; good standing (all required reports current). For more information or to; send proposals, contact Tracy Hawkins at t.hawkins@ieee.org or via fax to; +1 732 463 9359.; IDENTITY STANDARDS, VERSION 2; IEEE Identity Standards specify how the IEEE name, Master Brand and other; organizational symbols are used in IEEE materials and communications. For; your reference, version 2 of the IEEE Identity Standards is now available; on the Web. The updated document includes IEEE letterhead standards and; examples, and information for use of the IEEE Master Brand in Web pages. In; addition, the revised identity standards have more detailed explanations on; the use of other graphics and text with the IEEE Master Brand, the location; of the Master Brand within a design and the use of color.; Transition to the updated IEEE Identity Standards has already begun. The; current IEEE Master Brand should be implemented:; · At the first change to a publication, package, Web page, etc.; or; · When a new design is developed; or; · By 31 March 2002, whichever is sooner.; To view the revised identity standards or to download electronic images of; the IEEE Master Brand, go to; https://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/logos.htm.; For more information on the use of the IEEE Master Brand, contact Bill; Hagen, Intellectual Property Rights, email w.hagen@ieee.org or phone +1 732; 562 3966.; TECHNICAL EXPERTS GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE; Does your volunteer work include public relations responsibilities on; behalf of the IEEE? If so, you may be interested in obtaining the new IEEE; 2002 Technical Experts Guide. IEEE Corporate Strategy and Communications; is distributing the Guide to journalists and other media professionals who; write about a wide range of technology topics. This year, for the first; time, the Guide also is available online at; https://www.ieee.org/newsinfo/TEG.html.; The 44-page guide includes an alphabetical list of entries based on the; IEEE Technical Interest Profile list and from other Society; recommendations. It provides contact information for representatives from; each IEEE Society and other selected IEEE areas that are of interest to the; media. To obtain either a printed copy or PDF file of the new IEEE; Technical Experts Guide contact Corporate Communications at; corporate-communications@ieee.org.; IEEE ANONYMOUS; Many Section volunteers communicate with members and other volunteers using; their personal or business email address. This is fine, if it does not; prove a burden in receiving many IEEE related emails in your home email; inbox or at work. If you would prefer to keep your volunteer activities; separate, or if you send messages to your whole Section and would prefer to; represent the Section leadership as a whole, rather than yourself as the; individual volunteer, consider utilizing one of the free email services; such as Yahoo (www.yahoo.com) or Hotmail (www.hotmail.com) to set up an; email address for your activity. Your address could be simply; "IEEEDelhi@hotmail.com" or "IEEEDayton@yahoo.com." The advantage is that; the email you do receive is not filling up the in-box of either your; personal or work email.; If you wish to reflect the name of your Section or Chapter rather than your; own, when the account is created, list the first name as IEEE and the last; name as your Section. For example, the IEEE Princeton/Central New Jersey; Section email address reads "ieeepcnj@yahoo.com" and appears to come from; "IEEE Princeton."; NEW ETHICS AND MEMBER CONDUCT COMMITTEE FORMED; The IEEE Ethics Committee and the IEEE Member Conduct Committee merged to; form the IEEE Ethics and Member Conduct Committee (EMCC). EMCC will; recommend policies and educational programs to promote IEEE member and; staff ethical behavior.; Also, it will consider instituting procedures for member and officer; discipline, and requests for support.
