Report of the Ad Hoc committee on professional relations policy

In response to your letter of June 3, 1963, an Ad Hoc Committee on Professional Relations Policy consisting of C. Linder (Chairman), L. V. Berkner, C. Carlson, W. Chase, R. Chipp, S. Herwald, H. Lowe, F. K. Willenbrock (Secretary), with C. Savage as a consultant, has met and wishes to submit its report in three parts. In this covering letter, we shall include those recommendations which are of a current nature and which, in our opinion, require immediate action. The second part is our formal report to the Executive Committee which includes as its first recommendation that the Board of Directors adopt a series of policies governing its relationship with other organizations and that these policies be set forth in a unified document and be made available to the IEEE membership. The third part is the proposed statement of policies and it is our recommendation that these policies be adopted by the Board of Directors and be promulgated to the membership. Consequently, the major recommendations of this Ad Hoc Committee are to be found in this policy statement.
