The EMC Society Board of Directors, at its November 1998 meeting, approved several editorial and clarification changes to both the Constitution and the Bylaws.
1. In Constitution Article V, Section 6, the word “insure” was changed to “ensure”.
2. In Constitution Article VII, Section 1, the word “international” was added in the first sentence and in the second sentence “national” was changed to “international”.
3. Bylaws clause 2.6 was rewritten to improve the grammar. The content was not changed. The modified clause reads as follows: “Special Membership: Retired members, those who are unemployed due to involuntary termination of employment and who are seeking reemployment, and those whose annual income falls below the minimum income level in his/her region may become special members with special reduced fees as described in IEEE Bylaw 109.”
4. In Bylaws clause 9.1, the sentence “The last meeting of the calendar year shall be the “annual meeting of the Board of Directors” was added to the first paragraph.
5. In Bylaws clause 9.1, the words “or by electronic means” were added in the second paragraph after the words “or by mail”.
6. In Bylaws clause 9.2, the second sentence (“The symposium shall be held, when at all possible, in the fall of the year.”) was deleted in its entirety.
The changes to the Bylaws will become effective 30 days following publication of this notice.
The Constitutional changes will become effective 30 days after publication of this notice unless ten percent of the Society members object within that period. Objections must be in writing and sent to the Society Secretary. (Janet O’Neil, Lindgren RF Enclosures, Inc., 22117 NE 10th Place, Redmond, WA 98053.)
