4. Success Rate 20 candidates / 12 newly elected IEEE Fellows 60% success rate! NPS has always done well; Last year 45% success For comparison: DEI (slightly smaller than NPS): 1 MAG (slightly larger than NPS): 2 AP (3 times larger than NPS): 13 Noticed an interesting trend: A significant number of Fellows are not members of any Society. This is not true for NPS

5. Why did we do so well? Essential Ingredients: – Phenomenal Candidates – Great Committee Revamped the Process: – FEC ranked candidates within their TC preserves the TC ranking of candidates – FEC did a 1st cut candidate summary prior to telecon enhances evaluation of candidates in other TCs – Chair used the candidate summary in final evaluation results in specific and powerful summaries to IEEE Fellow Committee

6. What is next? Fellow applications due on 1 March 2012 Committee is in place The electronic process is pretty good but there are still issues. For instance, many FEC members cannot access the nominations. It takes forever to download them. NPSS Website needs a revamped Fellow Page – I will work with Dick Kouzes on new page – Stephen Bayne gave me a list of NPSS Fellows – I should do a “Tips for Successful Nominations” like the one Bill Moses did for Awards
