To: Region 3 Committee, Region 3 ExCom
Fr: David Green, Region 3 Secretary
Sb: Secretary's Report
Dt: March 14, 2004

The Region 3 meeting information, agendas, and reports received are 
on-line at 

https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/meetings/2004-03/

I thank Region and ExCom members who have submitted their reports 
prior to the meeting according to the guidelines posted on the web.  
These reports are posted to the web linked with the agenda.  This 
will also serve as the archival mechanism. Records for Region
and ExCom meetings from 1998 onwards are on the web at predictable 
URLs.  Of course, if no report is submitted, ...

Also available on the web (linked from the agenda) are the minutes of
our past November Region meeting and our past January ExCom E-Conf 
both of which were distributed shortly after their respective
meetings.  They have been edited slightly based on feedback from
attendees.  The official approval of the minutes are on the consent
agenda of the appropriate upcoming meeting.

Committees that wish to store items on the web may either do this
through the webmaster or through a dedicated area that the committee
controls.  Please think through issues of maintenance, skills, and
convenience before you decide since it is work to change the approach
later.  Chip Dawson can inform you as to the tradeoffs between the
approaches.

The 2004 Roster is on-line in our private directory at
https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/excom/private/full-roster2004.html .  Please
check your entry(ies) and let me know if corrections are needed.
Where possible, please use your @ieee.org alias.  The userid and
password for this private directory are available by e-mail.  Please
do not post this information on the web.  These credentials also allow
you to follow the links to the Region 3 Proposed Budget supplied by
the Treasurer.

My goals and objectives as secretary are

 1. Submit the Region 3 Roster to the IEEE Operations Center

 2. Facilitate ExCom operation by working with the Director to provide
    timely meeting notices and agendas prior to the meeting and
    minutes within a week after the meeting.

    a. Winter Meeting
    b. Spring Meeting (Both ExCom and Region)
    c. Early Fall Meeting
    d. End of Year Meeting (Both ExCom and Region )

 3. Participate as appropriate in Region 3 meetings.

 4. Improve the meeting planning and tracking functions both for more
    service to the participant and to reduce the workload to maintain
    the information.

I look forward see you at the Region meeting in Greensboro,

Dave
