Current BoD • 31 voting members • 10 Regional Directors • 10 Divisional Directors • 3 Ps • Secretary • Treasurer • VPs of EAB, PSPB, STDS, MGA, TAB, IEEE-USA • IEEE Assembly (10 RDs, 10 DDs, 3 Ps) elects - VPs of EAB, PSPB, MGA, Secty, Treasurer,
Transformed BoD • 15 voting members • 3 Ps • 9 Directors elected by the general membership • 3 Directors elected by the Assembly (from BoD nominations) • Directors have 2 term limit • Assembly elects same positions but they will not be voting members of the BoD
To Accomplish? • Small BoDs are better than big BoDs. • Directors will heve no otrher IEEE job • BoD will be less constituency based • Assembly Directors will be non-IEEE people - outside expertise
Harold’s Opinion -or there are many ways to skin a cat but I don’t like this way • Members of the BoD will have no other IEEE jobs - splitting terms serves the same purpose • The BoD selects for election the slate of candidates that replaces them - Incest? • The general membership has the least knowledge of candidates. Today the 20 RD & DD people are elected by subsets of membership that better know them. • There isn’t unequivocal evidence that small BoDs are better in any way than big BoDs. • Outside BoD members will have no understanding firsthand of a very complex and very unique org. Nothing stops us from appointing these folks today, they wouldn’t be voting members. • There is no reason to go for large change with so many uncertainties when much of what is intended can be done in small steps.
