Dear EC Members,
 
The Computer Society is soliciting nominations for IEEE Fellows.  If you know of someone that you think is qualified (including yourself), please pursue the nomination process immediately, time is short.  Having been through the process several times, it requires a fair amount of effort to line up the references and endorsements, so if you're interested, hop to it!  See the below information for details.
 
Regards,
 
--Paul
