NPSS MEMBERSHIP REPORT ADCOM NOV 2010 PART A e-Membership PART B Prelim 2010 Results VGPrice
PART A • DEVELOPING NATIONS • “E-Member option” • What is it? • Who is eligible? • Why do it? • What IEEE business rules? • Expected consequences • Info: complimentsElyn Perez
What is e-Membership? • Everything IEEE membership offers • But, no paper.. All electronic • -electronics pack and Mem card • -Electronic versions of journals • -Electronic renewal invoices • Reduced annual base dues - $50
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR e-MEM? • Current/Prospective members who reside where GDP is <$15K • Currently affects 153 countries • Higher Grade only • -Students not eligible • -Special Circumstances can’t be applied to e-membership
Why is IEEE Offering it? • Membership Affordability • Supports IEEE Humanitarianism • It is hoped that lower prices will: • Maximize retention rates---- • -Though risk in revenue, Hope to offset that with: • Increased recruitment • Increased purchase of IEEE products
E-Member Business Rules • e-Mems have full voting rights • e-Mems full consideration for grade elevation • Years of service count for Life • e-Mems able to join any society at whatever pricing Society has available. • continued
E-Member Business Rules-2 • MGM awards earned for referring an e-Member (at $5 each • Regional Assessments: • $50 Base dues • $13 assessment in R8 • $3 in R9 • $5 in R10
Expected Consequences • End-of-year IEEE population = 400K • Fraction of Transnationalsvs US = • 50/50 • Growth rate of transnational is higher than that of US members. Therefore, expect a larger fraction versus US. • e-Member option will accelerate transnational growth. • continued
E-Member Implications for NPSS • IEEE expects to expand e-Members into R-1 to 7 after trial experience in the GDP <$15 K countries. When they do: • Electronic only recruitment implies using laptops at NPSS conference booths • Many e-Members may neglect to renew NPSS when they renew IEEE • Continued
Further NPSS Implications • Consideration is underway to improve the means of recruitment at conferences, replacing paper approach with electronics. • Not all conferences have Web access. • Sometimes flaky access to web in the NPSS Booth area. Could use auto-start flash drive with IEEE log-in data loaded. Save and print later.
