IEEE UFFC, Newsletter Notice UFFC-S Administrative Committee Votes to Oppose the Proposed IEEE Constitutional Amendment June 26, 2016—The IEEE elections will start on August 15. Among other things, the ballot will contain a proposed amendment https://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/election/2016_constitutional_amen dment.html to the IEEE Constitution on which IEEE members will be asked to vote. However, the Administrative Committee (Adcom) of the Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFC-S) has recently voted to oppose the proposed amendment to the IEEE Constitution, arguing that the amendment poses serious risks to IEEE and that the existing IEEE constitution already offers alternative, less complex ways of accomplishing the intended improvements, while maintaining members at the core of the decision making process. To date, 22 other societies and councils have come to similar conclusions and are opposing the amendment. Whichever position UFFC-S members agree with, all are urged to study the proposed Constitutional amendment and exercise the right to vote and be heard.
