1 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 1 Report and Input from NPSS Transnational Committee (TNC) to AdCom Uwe Bratzler New Brunswick, Saturday, February 25, 2006 Topics: TNC – Committee Status Update, TNC AdCom representative deputy approval Future Conferences (NSS-MIC), beyond “Germany2008” Expanding TNC to include “New Countries” Expanding TNC to include representatives from all NPSS fields How to more actively involve NPSS members from outside North-America in NPSS society and conference activities? IEEE Membership: Repeated wish for IEEE institute group rates.

2 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 2 TNC – Committee Status Update 20 Members representing 15 countries (New Members 2006: Reyes Fernandes – Spain; Jean-Pierre Martin - Canada) Functions: TNC Deputy Chair: Maxim Titov TNC Secretary: Reyes Fernandez Communications Administrator: Ping Yeh Phone Meetings, Minutes, Website. TNC AdCom Representative/Deputy Approval Maxim Titov (TNC Deputy Chair) (Uwe Bratzler, TNC Chair) What steps in AdCom to approve Maxim as my deputy?

3 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 3 Future Conferences (NSS-MIC), beyond “Germany2008” 2000: Lyon, France (NSS/MIC record attendance ~1,300) 2001: San Diego, CA, USA 2002: Norfolk, VA, USA 2003: Portland, OR, USA 2004: Rome, Italy (new NSS/MIC record attendance ~1,800) 2005: Puerto Rico, USA 2006: San Diego, CA, USA 2007: Oahu, HI, USA 2008: Dresden, Germany (planning for largest meeting so far) About 50% of NPSS members from outside North America. Conferences outside North-America important. Participation from Asia increasing. Hawaii Conference can serve as ‘test’ for response from Asia. Next outside-North America NSS-MIC: in 3-4 years, Asia/Japan? TNC appreciates support for having NSS-MIC outside North America every few years (which started with “Lyon2000” – pioneered by Patrick Le Du) and likes to remind that it is important to continue doing so…

4 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 4 Expanding TNC to include “New Countries” Currently making contacts with: China, (south) Korea, additional Eastern European Countries Expanding TNC to include representatives from all NPSS fields Wish to have more representation in TNC from other than NSS-MIC NPSS community members (from outside North America).  Help from NPSS Technical Committee Chairs?

5 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 5 How to more actively involve NPSS members from outside North-America in NPSS society and conference activities? TNC is discussing this right now – input/support welcome.

6 Uwe Bratzler, AdCom Meeting, New Brunswick, Feb. 25, 2006 6 IEEE Membership: Repeated wish for IEEE institute group rates Background: In basically all institutions in Europe (as probably also in the US), IEEE membership fees will not be paid by the employer, even though, once an employee is IEEE member, his/her institute will save money through significantly lower conference registration fees for their IEEE member employees. Some TNC members (from Eastern European countries) inform that if they could enroll as a group, their institutes would/could pay for their IEEE membership (fees). TNC believes that the possibility for such possible “group rates” would result in a significant increase in IEEE membership, while it would also help these colleagues - who otherwise may not, or may not be able (financially) - to become an IEEE member.  Discussion.
