15.3 Preparation of
Organizational Unit Position Statements
An
Organizational Unit Position Statement may be
prepared and issued by any organizational unit
of the IEEE provided that:
- The subject of the Organizational Unit
Position Statement lies within the
purposes of the IEEE as set forth in the IEEE
Constitution, Bylaws, or Policies.
- The subject of the Organizational Unit
Position Statement lies within the
approved scope of the organizational unit
developing and issuing the
Organizational Unit Position Statement.
- The issuing organizational unit
specifies the need for and the intended
use of a particular Organizational Unit Position Statement.
- The identity of the organizational unit
issuing the statement is clearly
specified in the text of the statement and the
statement is signed and dated by the
highest officer of that organizational unit or,
in the case of his unavailability, by a
responsible officer acting in his name.
- The organizational unit shall send a
copy of the Organizational Unit Position
Statement to the IEEE Executive Director, upon
issuance, where a consolidated listing
of all such statements will be maintained.
- When the Organizational Unit Position
Statement has been approved and issued,
it (or a suitable summary) should be published
in the issuing organizational unit's
newsletter or other publication reaching the
members of that organizational unit, and be
given such other circulation within the
IEEE as may be appropriate, including,
specifically, the public information officers of
the IEEE.
