So far 74 questionnaires have been returned and a number of other IEEE members have attended committee meetings, the INTERCON'73 forums or otherwise indicated their interest in becoming personally involved.","PeriodicalId":231350,"journal":{"name":"IEEE CSIT Newsletter","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126788371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But I think your question does not go far enough. Since IEEE is legally constituted as a dual purpose (technical and professional) organization, I believe IEEE ought to have an equal number of its major awards (Medal of Honor, etc.) devoted to non-technical endeavors. Moreover, it is time IEEE elevated members to the rank of Fellow in recognition of their professional activities. Indeed, I spoke to members of IEEE's Awards Committee about this at headquarters this past spring. At my urging, the Board of Directors has asked Nathan Cohn (IEEE's Fellows Committee) to look into expand-panding the scope of the Fellows awards.","PeriodicalId":231350,"journal":{"name":"IEEE CSIT Newsletter","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128501061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
