Spectral lines

As Editor Ryder indicated in “Spectral Lines” last month, the Editorial Board of IEEE has recently reorganized its activities so that the editorial content of Proceedings and Spectrum are the responsibility of Boards of Consultants. Since the responsibility for chairing the Board of Consultants of Proceedings has been assigned to me, it seemed desirable to take the opportunity provided by the Editor´s absence to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities which face Proceedings.
