2007
ComSoc Elections Assumes a New e-Face! The
2007 ComSoc Board of Governor’s election will begin in
June and run through August 10. This
year 4 new VPs and 4 new Members-at-Large will be elected to
the Board. A
new format will be trialed this year and next year call e-first
voting. Ballots will be sent electronically to all voting
members who will be asked to vote at a secure Web site. Members
wishing to vote with a paper ballot have the option of requesting
one be mailed to them.
As
normal, the biography and position statement of each candidate
will be available to voters via a link to the ComSoc Web site. Since
IEEE policy does not permit the use of IEEE e-mail lists for
electioneering, the Nominations and Elections Committee is
promoting an organized electioneering process for the VP candidates
using a Question and Answer format. The Q and A will
appear in future e-News issues, on the ComSoc Web
site, and in the Communications Magazine.
ComSoc
is making a consorted effort this year to inform members of
the upcoming election, and urge them to “get out and
vote!”
The IEEE Communications Society will exhibit at the IEEE
DySPAN (17-20 April) and IEEE
VTC (22-25 April) conferences in Dublin, Ireland. Both
conferences will be at the Burlington Hotel. Stop by, pick
up a copy of IEEE Communication Magazine, and discover what’s
new at ComSoc.
