1. CS SAB Chair Agenda Items
Jon Rosdahl
IEEE Computer Society 2017 Vice President Standards Activities
IEEE Computer Society Standards Activity Board (SAB) 14 June 2017

2. 1.4 SAB Chair Remarks

3. Standards Getting Others involved with Standards
Getting involved in IEEE standards provides you with opportunities to network with industry peers and broaden your understanding of your industry and technology, as well as gain familiarity with the content of standards in which you are involved—facilitating early compliance and anticipating market requirements. Inviting others spreads that opportunity.
Standards should be market relevant with broad support.
Corporate Standards require at least 3 Corporations
Standards by Individual Working Groups have at least 10 people
IEEE Initiatives on future Technology:

12. MSC Status Report – June 2017
SUMMARY OF MSC ACTIVITIES -- Ralph Baker Kearfott:
1. Transfer of CCSC activities to the MSC has proceeded . 
This includes two working groups,       * P1890 (error correction coding for non-volatile         memories), and       * P2200 (high quality mobile experience working group)    Kiran Gunnam, P1890 chair, has been actively participating in MSC activities. Work is proceeding, and Kiran has submitted an extension PAR that the MSC has approved.    We are in contact with Bill Fisher, representing P    A PAR extension request, along with a change from entity-based to individual-based, should be forthcoming.
Bill Fisher, Christy Bahn, and the MSC chair are    corresponding concerning this.

13. MSC Status Report – June 2017
SUMMARY OF MSC ACTIVITIES:
2. We reviewed expiring PARs and standards
Most of those listed were judged to be obsolete, good      candidates for administrative withdrawal.
IEEE 1394 (Firewire) is no longer ubiquitous, but still has sufficient niche deployment to warrant a revision. Les Baxter has submitted a PAR extension for the revision, that MSC approved.    * It is recommended that lapse.    * P1363 is in limbo, since there is only William Whyte has been active on it, and he has limited time Regarding the other active projects:    P1788.1:
 * Consensus was reached within the working group concerning the p document, Mandatory Editorial Coordination has occurred, a Sponsor Ballot invitation has been initiated, and an MSC vote to allow Sponsor Ballot is underway. (Most members have already voted "yes".)

15. H. Kasahara, CS SP9, For Breaking Down of Each Goal, April 10, 2017
Goals for SP9
The goals of SP9 will aim at realizing the key issues for future of IEEE Computer Society as below based of visions of SP8 considering the current difficulties in finance, electric publication, membership, and so on.
We will have advices from a consultant company for two years to cope with the difficulties. Please keep in mind, we need to incorporate the advices in our plans.
1. Operating as the leading professional organization in computing technology.
2. Creating a sustainable financial model for the Computer Society.
3. Increasing the number and improvement of satisfaction of members in Computer Society.
4. Revitalizing volunteer activities considering incentives based on the appreciation.
5. Organizing the leading conferences, meetings and events.
6. Offering the leading journals, magazines, and network contents attractive both for industry and academia.
7. Creating the leading educational contents and disseminating them to international professionals and K12.
8. Being the leading organization in standards.
9. Collaborating with the other IEEE societies and international sister societies synergistically. 15

18. Strategic Plan #9 EXAMPLE
Goal SP9.8: Evolve the Computer Society's Organizational Structure to Effectively Meet Current and Future Challenges
[Hironori Kasahara, President-Elect 2017]
Computer Society needs to evolve so that can effectively meet current and future challenges considering collaboration among multiple SP9 goals and with other societies in IEEE.

19. Strategic Plan #9 EXAMPLE
Example Continued
SP9.8.1 Stronger Relationship between conferences and publications
Publication has been one of the most important activities in Computer Society. However, currently we should think new movements like on-line free journal online. Next, three year, Computer Society will need challenges to find ways to give members valuable contents through Journals. Also, Conferences are most important activities for current and future Computer Society. They need also value added features as Computer Society to be a leading society for Next-Generation.
As a challenge for the next generation, this goal tries to publish short special issues in Transactions related with CS prestigious conferences, which are delivered in six months after the conferences every year inviting the PC chairs as guest editors, with SP9.1 Conferences and SP9.2 Publications. This challenge will allow us to have high quality papers for both Trans. and Conferences.　

20. Strategic Plan #9 EXAMPLE
Example Continued
Metric(s): Number of regular special issues in Transactions related with CS Conferences
 Criteria for Success: More than 50% of Transactions publish Special Issues of the CS Conferences
 SP9.8.1 Year 1:　 Two or Three transactions publish short special issues within 6months after selected CS conferences.
 SP9.8.1 Year 2: More than Five Transactions publish short special issues within 6 months after selected CS Conferences
 SP9.8.1 Year 3: More than 50 % of Transactions publish short special issues within 6 months after selected CS Conferences.
