  3. IEEE ITS Public Visibility • Background: One of the programs of the Public Visibility Initiative is an electronic newsletter -- IEEE Engaging the World -- in which we highlight IEEE experts making a difference across a number of technologies around the world.  For our next newsletter on the topic of Consumer Electronics we would like to highlight an aspect of Intelligent Transportation Systems and a particular technology or application that is having world-changing impact on society.  For example, GPS-enabled cell phones for traffic tracking (as one possible storyline) -- or something along this line.   • They requested a list of experts/fields to provide as requests are made for information – could be a good chance to get more PR; Can we use our expert database?

  4. IEEE TAB Meeting • Financial Concerns: loss of 29% of endowment • Fewer (none?) new initiatives approved • Looking a cost cutting • Looking at current initiatives (e.g., magazines) • Less money for new initiatives • Conference/Other Publications • “Fake” paper published, author invited to be chair • Conference lost IEEE support • Need to make sure all papers reviewed
