14.4   Non-Members on Section Mailing Lists

On the recommendation of the Section Chair, the Chair of the Section Membership Development Committee (in those Sections in which one exists), or the Section officer assigned the responsibility for membership promotion, the name of a non-IEEE member may be added to the mailing list to receive notices of Section activities. The name shall be added initially for a period of six months, with provision for one extension of an additional six months period of time. If the individual has not applied for membership by the end of this one year period, his/her name shall be removed from the mailing list with the provision that it not be added as a nonmember for the next three years. In addition to those non-IEEE members who receive Section notices in accordance with the foregoing paragraph, on the recommendation of the Section Chair and the approval of the Regional Director, there may also be included individuals whose positions in the community make it desirable for them to be kept informed of IEEE activities. The Section Chair should report annually to the Regional Director concerning names on the Section mailing list which are in this category, and in the process of adding new names, as well as in the annual reporting, a brief statement should be provided justifying the inclusion of each name.
