>Millennium Medal IEEE-SA Criteria
>Context: At the beginning of the third millennium give recognition to 3000
individuals for their professional achievements worthy of recognition for
significant impact leading up to and including the new millennium.
>Millennium medals are to be awarded to those individuals for their
outstanding contributions to the profession and to society in general. The
medals are to be awarded by Societies, Sections, and major boards of which
the IEEE-SA is one such entity. Each major board will recognize outstanding
individuals based on outstanding contributions to that board and its major
programs and activities. A recipient must be a member of the IEEE but does
not have to be a member of the IEEE-SASB or the IEEE-SA BoG. We should
identify and recognize individuals whose contributions helped to bring in
and support the new millennium.
>Two categories of nominees will be considered:
>1) Nominees recognized for their development of standard(s) having a major
impact on industry. This could be for a single standard or a family of
standards.
>2) Nominees recognized for their contributions to the development or
establishment of management infrastructure having significant impact on
industry now or in the next millennium. This could be for a new major
infrastructure or for major improvements and evolution of an existing
infrastructure.
