Schultz reported on outreach efforts to have Standards Bd people talk at various chapter meetings. He is a liaison from the Standards Board to the Chapters Board, and is working to have Standards people talk at IEEE Chapter meetings in cities where the Board of Governors is meeting.

      4.1   Other IEEE Conferences (e.g. STEP)

The IEEE  STEP conference is the only IEEE one, but has been re-calibrated by its military sponsor to have more of a military systems (DoD) focus, to be held in various locations near military installations (i.e., not just in Salt Lake City). Next year June 18-21 will be in Tampa, FL. 

TCSE will consider whether IEEE CS should step into the gap with a new conference directed primarily at practitioners. We should develop recommendations.  CS Board of Governors created a  new committee on  Joint Conferences and tutorials/ Technical Activities Board conference business model.

      4.2   Non-IEEE Conferences (e.g. SSTC, SEPG)

 

5.    Action Item Review [Walrad]

ExCom has been dong a great job of completing Action Items and sending in updates. An updated spreadsheet will be distributed today.

 

Walrad asked for preferred dates for February FTF.  Feb 26 looks best. She will ask Yahoo/Google/Microsoft (in that order) if they’d be willing to host the FTF and to have someone from the host company address the group about how they use standards and about how they structure any internal standards they use.
