Report from TACReport from TAC

• New VP-Technical Activities: Mark Karol• New TAC Vice-Chair/Secretary: Mehmet Ulema• Presentation about TAC structure: awards (V. Poor), fellows (R. Hsing),

communications history (M. Schwartz), education board (S. Bregni), recertification, emerging technologies (N. Ohta), distinguished lecturers selection (M. Ulema), standards board (C. Siller)

• Recertification: a motion will be proposed to BoG to recertify 17 (CSIM included!) over 18 TCs

• Ad-hoc committee on Smart Grid Communications (one representative for each TC)

• Suggestions for TCs:– TCs should involve young members and industrial participants– More involvement is required on ComSoc Community Groups– Initiative on “Best Readings on PLC” (S. Galli, S. Benedetto, L. Cimini). Maybe it is

possible to have “Best Readings” on other topics (TCs?)

Report from GITCReport from GITC• Any news?
