IEEE-SA Board of Governors Last face-to-face meeting was held February 26 - 27, 2007 in
Piscataway. The BoG began discussions on how to appoint, monitor and direct
representatives of the SA to external ogranizations. Two ad hoc committees of the BoG were created to work on a
variety of issues: International Committee Business Development Committee
2008 will be the 10th anniversary of the IEEE-SA. The BoG is considering what, if any, activities should be held to commemorate this milestone.
The IEEE-SA Operations Manual was changed to make the IEEE-SA Treasurer a voting position on the BoG. Corresponding language will have to be approved by the IEEE BoD before this change can become effective.
IEEE-SA Board of Governors Discussion of the IEEE-SA Financial Viability Plan
(FVP) was thorough and intense. This included such diverse topics as:
Funded Services Pricing Changes - tabled Entity Participation Fee Changes - tabled Academic Package Pricing - approved Individual Participation Fee
Motion: “Move that the IEEE-SA investigate implications and acceptance of potential individual method project participation fees.” - approved
Business Development ad hoc to oversee the FVP - approved
The BoG heard a presentation on the GEOSS work. They are seeking individuals to help with this project.
Next BoG meeting is week of June 25, 2007 also in Piscataway.
