  7. Electronic Services • Background • Electronic services essential to Society • Committee needs unmet • Current web hard to use & maintain • IEEE TAB & other societies have similar problems and are investing in solutions • Proposed activity • Create Standing Committee on Electronic Services • Use initiative funding for next three years to re-create Society web and electronic services • Preliminary proposal submitted through FinCom

  8. Electronic Services • Motion – The following section shall be added to Article IX of the By-Laws: • Electronic Services Committee. This committee shall report to the Society President and shall be composed of one representative from each Society Board (designated by the corresponding Vice-President), at least two AdCom members, and additional members, as appointed by the President. It shall be responsible for the creation and management of society web and electronic services.

  9. Responsibility Descriptions • Activity in progress to document Society organization & key position responsibilities • Steve Hsia has agreed to coordinate effort to create responsibility descriptions for key positions • Nearest term goal – create responsibility description for RAS President and President-Elect • Need to generate AdCom role description next. • Recommend having all candidates sign acknowledgement of and commitment to responsibilities.

  10. New Subcomittee • A motion was passed to “create a subcommittee of the LRPC to study the implications of breaking away from IEEE.” • The motivations are lack of control over our funds and IEEE policies over which we have little control. • This means only that there should be a study of implications of breaking away, not that we should do so at this time.
