3 3 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Recalling the basics

4 4 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Methods Redaction of effective purposes and guidelines –Guidelines rather than by-laws……Year 1 –Posted on the public NPSS website Installation of a yearly cycle of 3 telephone calls –prior to the next AdCOM –these TelCo and parallel s help to report news, needs and motions to the AdCOM ……Year 1 Installation of a collaborative website –based on BaseCamp thanks to Tony …… Year 3 –This website also serves as repository of documents and works Result: we begin to be spontaneously contacted (volunteering of post-doc as well as associate professor)

5 5 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Membership in TNS vs in NPSS This is the crucial matter = balance between NPSS membership versus TNC membership –A rule of thumb of one TMC member for each hundredth NPSS members –It means, routhly, a committee of 20 members –Not less, not more Recruiting news TNC Members during these past 4 years –New representatives in R10 Seoul, Beijing, and Japan and R9 Brazil –UK next to follow in R8, hopefully!

7 7 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Membership needs (2) = a Directory vs a Roster? Deep reflexion concerning NPSS Directory –Initiated by Erik Heijne – regrets the paper directories / edition discontinued It was found that there were two kind of needs –Need for a roster available to the NPSS membership in good standing, with names and grades but no much more A scan of other societies practicies has been made The knowledge of a name would allow contact possible through the MyIEEE system, beyond the NPSS –Need for TNC and AdCOM to access to a more precise directory of functions, awards, committes, MGA activities For promotion purposes, eg, nominations (senior, fellow) and TNC networking in a specific area => Accessible to AdCOM officers and Membership Chair through SAMIEE

8 8 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Member Roster Project Rationale presented at AdCOM, March 2011, as a conclusion Contracted with IEEE by AdCOM, early 2012 –Coordinating with the Membership Committee and the AdCOM Secretary (and the Finance Chair) To appear on the NPSS webpages, soon as a roster of names grade, region, password protected On Going Action

9 9 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Improvements Support to Transnational Conferences / or events « WHAREHOUSE SYSTEM » –Custom (free circulation within EU-27) –A managing contractor has been selected in France –Cost and pain saving, return of papers, banners and goods for re- use –Minimize risk of loss and roberry March 2012 AdCOM - Motion passed Proposal for treating the case of R8 / Europe / Estimated cost for 3 conferences a year Transnational Committee for European booth equipment and Storage: It was moved and passed that NPSS budget up to $15,000 in 2012 and yearly thereafter to replace and enhance booth equipment for European conferences and to secure European warehouse and shipping capabilities to store and ship IEEE and NPSS booth equipment and literature for European conferences.

12 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim Current topics under way Project: “Summer Schools” Discussion at July 2012 AdCOM in Edinburgh –Transnational - Change the name? Transnational = Transatlantic, Transpacific? –Duplicate TNC? TNC-R8 (&R9?) TNC-R10 Advantages : would mimic regional activities, with better replication of actual world as it is. Risk : generation of two separate networks, the East (R10) versus the West (of Pacific). What about India?

13 IEEE NPSS TRANSNATIONAL COMMITTEE AdCOM Nov. 03, 2012, Anaheim TNC We tried To be analytical and rational To be attentive To be proactive Not to make everything by ourselves when other are more efficient in action or legitimate Thanks to All More to come!
