[802SEC] IEEE Standards Education request to conduct video interviews at the November plenary session

[Paul Nikolich <paul.nikolich@ATT.NET>]

Dear EC Members,

I have been requested by the IEEE Standards Education staff to inquire 
if your task group/force project leaders would be willing to briefly 
explain their project on video for educational purposes during the 
upcoming plenary session.  I've discussed this with David Law, an active 
member of the IEEE Standards Education Committee, and we both think it 
is a good way to disseminate information into the academic community 
about our work.

Overview:
Standards Ed are creating a series of online videos that discuss and 
describe a variety of standards topics and technologies. The videos will 
be made freely available and are intended as educational resources for 
university professors and students. They would like to create a series 
of short videos about 802 technologies by conducting short interviews 
with representatives from each of the 802 working groups.

What:                         Interview Project on IEEE 802 ​Family of 
Standards​
​When:                        Two days during the November 2014 Plenary, 
San Antonio, TX
Time Commitment:     Approx 30 mins for each interview
Action Required:         Please help identify two people from your 
working group who can ​give an overview of​ the related technology 
during a filmed interview in a succinct and engaging way and address 
what's new and emerging.

​Standards Ed staff plans to hold the interviews in one designated 
location ​over a period of two full days, likely on 4 Nov (Tues) and 5 
Nov (Wed). This way participants can ​be scheduled for interview times 
during the day that fit into their particular schedules. IEEE staff will 
​create interview schedules before the Plenary and will update the 
schedules as necessary.

A list of topics and questions will be prepared in advance and given to 
each participant to help him or her prepare and feel comfortable.

Interview participants will be asked to sign ​an​ IEEE.tv release form ​ 
that will be given to them prior to the video shoot. ​This ​release form 
was used recently in a project with the IEEE-SA Standards Board and was 
found acceptable by those participants. It includes the ability for each 
participant to review and approve footage of himself before it is used.

Please send your two names/e-mails to the following by 10 OCT 2014:
s.tatiner@ieee.org
j.mcclain@ieee.org
jennie.steinhagen@ieee.org

I know this is short notice, if we have spare time at the end our call 
today we can discuss this then as well.

Regards,

--Paul

p.s. I know there has been some concern over the IEEE video release 
agreement in the past, IEEE has modified it (attached) to alleviate 
those concerns.  It has recently been used for interviews conducted 
during Standards Activities Standards Board meetings.
