  3. IEEE EHW • EWH: IEEE Entity Web Hosting • This service is intended to meet the needs of IEEE entities who want to develop, create and maintain their own web site on an IEEE host. • The general philosophy is that posting entities will be responsible for their content, its maintenance and its conformance to IEEE policy. • Entities are expected to choose a single webmaster who is skilled in managing web content. This webmaster will be the entity contact and the only one authorized to post content to the web site. The webmaster will be expected to work with IEEE staff to insure that site security measures are effective. IEEE SCV Section New Officer Training

  4. Appropriate Use Policy(Oct. 24, 2000) • Impersonation • Privacy Violations • Excessive disk utilization • The disk limit for Regions, Societies and Technical Councils is 60MB. • The disk limit for Sections, IEEE Board Level Committees and Geographic Councils is 10MB • Network Unfriendly Activity IEEE SCV Section New Officer Training

  5. Other EWH Services • IEEE Internet Conference; E-Conference • E-Conferencing is using various tools such as Internet Relay Chat to conduct online meetings. Learn more about E-Conferencing at the Region 3 E-Conferencing Committee site and at the IEEE Internet Conferencing site. • URL Alias • http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r6/scv/ http://www.ieee.org/scv/ • Fill out application form at • http://www.ieee.org/web/developers/naming/aliasregistration.html IEEE SCV Section New Officer Training
