Abstract :
Last month, “Inside IEEE” replaced “News of the IEEE.” The change in name was in keeping with the new material added to these columns that gives advance information on policy changes under consideration, experimental programs under way, and on other such happenings. “Inside IEEE” is one medium for letting each IEEE member know what is under consideration and what is being tried experimentally — in addition to the usual reporting of meetings and other events. With this new commentary we hope to keep you informed of what IEEE´s Board of Directors and other IEEE operating and policy-making units are doing and why.
