The IEEE Board of Directors may, in its
sole discretion, recommend to the Board
of Directors of the IEEE Foundation the
acceptance by the Foundation of donations
and bequests for the purpose of endowing
the IEEE Technical Field Awards program.
Such endowments may, with the approval
of the Board, carry the name of an
individual or individuals, e.g., the
John J. Jones Endowment Fund.
Restrictions on the technical scope of
the awards supported by such funds, shall
not be for more than ten years. Support
