Childcare Program at Conferences
A feasible solution has been identified set aside a small budget for childcare grants at ICC/GLOBECOM
– to support onsite childcare at conference location– to support childcare at home, if parents come to attend the conference
parents are responsible for making own arrangementsComSoc might arrange for discounts, but parents choose the providerkids admitted at Exhibit Hall if a Minor Release Form is signed
Suggested budget: ~$300/grant, max total $4000/yearMagnetics Society: 10 grants $300 for conferences ~1500 attendeesNuclear & Plasma Sciences Society: pilot program, up to $400 per family

Reduction in Number of Members in AP Region from Dec. 2014 to Dec.2015 Overally, the number of members reduces in all countries from
Dec. 2014 to Dec. 2015 In particular, the reduction in India is drastic. The reason may be the recent worldwide economic recess and the
quite mature communication technologies. Further study is required. Need to set up new chapters/councils in Korea, China, and
Pakistan Need to admit more student ComSoc members who are potential
researchers, technologists, and educators in the communication field.
