Subject: 2002 Year-End Report - Region 3 Director-Elect 
To: R3 Excom 2002
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 21:28:54 -0500

My Director-Elect activities this year included attending the IEEE
Regional Activities Board (RAB) meetings held in conjunction with the
IEEE Board of Directors meetings in February and June.  I serve on the
Rejuvenation Subcommittee of the Section & Chapter Support Committee
and I serve on the RAB Industry Relations Committee.  I also Chair the
Region 3 Corporate Communications Ad Hoc Committee (and, by the way,
we need a volunteer to replace me in that position).

2002 Region 3 Section Survey

We reviewed and discussed the results of the Region 3 Section Survey
at the Region 3 ExCom meeting in Washington, DC.  This discussion
formed a part of the issue development process for Region 3's input to
the Sections Congress 2002 Recommendations voted on by SC 2002
Delegates.

Ad Hoc Committee of the Region 3 Strategic Planning Committee

I chair an ad hoc committee of the Region 3 Strategic Planning
Committee.  As reported previously, this ad hoc group is looking at
possible inconsistencies between the roles of, and voting by, Standing
and Ad Hoc Committees (and the chairs) in the R3 ExCom and the R3
Committee.  We are also concerned about the differences between
Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committees, the allowed numbers of each
(and who can vote).  Recommendations will be brought to SPC (and then
to ExCom) for clarifying the Region 3 policy, and thus for future
revisions to the Bylaws and Operations Manual.

We plan to provide a preliminary report to the Region 3 ExCom at
SoutheastCon 2003.  After considering comments and feedback from the
Region Committee and the Region 3 ExCom, we will then develop our
final recommendations for approval in the Fall of 2003.
