Notes (2004) • DLP Program • Bob and Chris will review the 2005 budget and see how much is available for this program. • There was some discussion as to how many DLP’s there should be. Is one too few to have much general interest? I suggested that the details should be decided by the DLP Committee. • Tom Wiener noted that the DLP Comm. should not *exclude* Canada and Latin America (i.e. don’t be “NA” specific). • Can get information from Linda Matarazzo about the “hot technical” areas from the Sensors Journal in order to help select the lecturers • Student Scholarship Program • Change all occurrences of “fellowship” to “scholarship” • Call it the “IEEE Student Scholarship sponsored by GE, etc” • Standards • Appoint a “Standards Chair” – possibly Bernhard Jakoby? • Other: • Establish relationship with major sensors research groups Notes (2005) • DLP Program • Student Scholarship Program • Standards • Other:
