shall submit reports as required and in the
annual report should summarize the joint
program progress and achievements and
recommend the level of IEEE continued
participation in the next year.
-
Support. IEEE representatives shall
receive information and staff assistance, and
may receive financial support, through the
respective appointing IEEE Boards and
Committees. The appointing Board or Committee
shall be responsible for budgeting any dues or
fees to be paid to the outside organization,
for any IEEE staff support for the joint
