Areas of concern

The activities described in the introduction to this Newsletter will successful only insofar as they stimulate personal involvement the part of the IEEE members. It is important therefore to find out what the membership considers appropriate for discussions and study and how many are interested enough to really participate. Following is a list of general topics and specific sub-topics. It is recognized that the short titles are subject to various interpretations and that other IEEE organs are already studying some of them. In order to get started, however, we request that you scale each of the 12 categories from 1 to 5, in the order of your special interest and in which you believe you have skills which can and should be brought to bear on behalf of society; note that 1 signifies definite interest, 5 none at all. Please star any of the sub-topics of special appeal. You may also wish to add a note suggesting any additional topics; negative as well as positive responses are, of course, invited.
