2. Important Issues Declining Membership In USA One IEEE Concept Infrastructure Costs

3. Rising Infrastructure costs can affect financial viability of individual units (p.ex.,growing piece of Xplore revenues being used for infrastructure) Final budget responsibility should rest with volunteers IEEE BoD must take a harder look at initiatives with big financial impact (ex, creating ieee domain) IEEE must continue to be run as.org and not as.com

4. Is IEEE Strangling its Golden Geese? Presidents Message IEEE Communications Magazine September 2001

5. Decrease of Membership in R1-R6 Less focus on services target at academia. Increase collaboration with industry. Continuing education: IEEE needs to do a much better job. For professional life learning understand the needs of young professionals. Revisit issue of lower cost access to information by members.

9. One IEEE Concept One IEEE is a very good concept and important. We should all work together to improve services to all our constituencies, from members, to community to mankind. owever for One IEEE to work it is important that in each instance all stakeholders involved see some benefit in their participation. The One IEEE concept cannot be used to simply transfer resources from one unit to other or an excuse to transfer control of activities to corporate staff or to direct supervision by the BOD

However for OneIEEE to work it is important that in each instance all stakeholders involved see some benefit in their participation. The One IEEE concept should not be used to simply transfer resources from one unit to another or an excuse to transfer control of activities to corporate staff or to direct supervision by the BOD

14. One IEEE Concept (2) We must continue to empower IEEE units so that they are motivated to contribute to the overall good.

25. Accomplishments as a Society Volunteer. I led teams that successfully changed the structure of ComSoc flagship conferences and added focus to the long term planning of their technical programs. I led the development of IEEE WCNC to become the premier ComSoc Wireless conference. I served as General Chair of three ComSoc Major Conferences (GLOBECOM, Infocom e WCNC). Recently I was co-General Chair of the first ever on-line ComSoc conference, IEEE GreenCom. Early on in my volunteer career I was the proponent of the creation of the very successful and long lasting Student Travel Grant program In the 90s was one of the leaders of ComSoc globalization process.
