[802SEC] Dr. Robert F. Heile wins IEEE International Award



All

Today's IEEE-SA news announced (among other things) that Dr. Robert F. Heile has been awarded the IEEE-SA International Award for extraordinary contributions to the advancement of standards development work globally.

Assuming that this is indeed our Dr. Bob (could there be any other?), I would like to extend my personal congratulations on a well deserved award.

According the the IEEE SA web page (which, mysteriously, is actually working), the award consists of a crystal globe and certificate. There is no honorarium attached to this award. Which means that Bob has doubled the pay he gets for IEEE work.

Criteria for the award:
----------------------------------
This award may be presented annually to an IEEE-SA individual member who has made an extraordinary contribution to establishing the IEEE-SA as a world-class leader in standardization.

Examples include but are not limited to individuals who excel in the following activities (regardless of venue or activity):

    * Achieving acceptance of an SA standard for world-wide implementation.
    * Harmonizing an SA standard with international market requirements.
* Interacting with national and international bodies to enhance their understanding of the breadth and strength of the SA standards program.
-------------------

Yep, that sound like Bob to me.

Again, congratulations to Dr. Heile.

James Gilb
IEEE 802 LMSC Recording Secretary
