Folks, Recall that I will not be able to be with you at the opening EC due to some unavoidable work conflicts. I trust you will have good and productive meetings in my "home" town and I hope you enjoy your stay. So here goes my "virtual" Treasurer's report for your consideration: 1. I've enclosed the customary Treasurer's opening report which includes the status/outcome of our July plenary in San Francisco. As you will note, we ran a deficit of $28,437 which was not quite as bad as we expected, since attendance was fairly good. We were able to hold most expenses in line, but bottom line, San Francisco is an expensive place to hold meetings any more. Note this is only a draft and a few more items still will accrue to this meeting budget, but it should be pretty close. 2. Our operating reserve is $1,250,515 once all commitments are factored in. This is down a bit (makes sense, since we ran a deficit last time) but within reason. Recall that we will need a buffer going into the non-North American session in the coming years. So we need to keep an eye on this. 3. Note that I have *not* included the Atlanta estimate/budget report as I still need to work with the meeting staff for the latest estimates. I will provide this by the closing EC on Friday. I am optimistic that we will be north of break-even for this session, but as you know, it all depends on attendance levels. 4. I've also enclosed Karen's usual Get802 report. My only thing to add is that IEEE staff is still evaluating the P&L for the program, and until we have better information, we will continue with our current agreement to provide $75/attendee to the Get802 program. 5. Hopefully you received Buzz's email about the proposal to change our meeting fee structure starting in March. Please spend some time discussing with the EC and your WGs so we can make a decision on Friday. I can also get back to you by email during the week if that's any help (jhawkins@ieee.org). 6. We are interested in securing sponsors for our network bandwidth provider in future sessions. This could be a corporate sponsorship (in the form of $$) or an "in-kind" sponsorship (ie. an operator willing to provide us the service during a given week). In return the sponsor would be recognized with signage in the various break/registration areas, on the web, and can provide a small logo-ed give-away if desired (pens, etc). If you or someone you know is interested, please see Rick Alfvin about the technical requirements, or me/Buzz about the sponsorship details. Again, have a great meeting and I'll see you later in the week, John Hawkins Treasurer, IEEE 802 jhawkins@ieee.org ---------- This email is sent from the 802 Executive Committee email reflector.
