| 10/1/11/RAS 2011 October 1 AdCom/6 | Technical Committees regularly sponsor focused conferences and workshops within their fields of interest. It is proposed that the RAS share the financial surpluses generated by these activities with the TC’s such that these funds can be used directly in supporting their overall activities. The guidelines for this surplus sharing are as follows: 1. The RAS will include TC surplus sharing in the society budget submittals based on the official IEEE conference budget submittals subjected to IEEE and RAS budget constraints. In the case of RAS co-sponsorship, the surplus sharing will be based on the RAS budget fraction only. Because of the coupling with the RAS budgets, TC’s are expected to submit as accurate and comprehensive conference budgets as possible and no later than one year in advance. 2. The TC will receive 50% of the RAS portion of the conference actual surplus, and these funds will be available (through the Treasurer) to the TC in the financial year following the year of the conference. Up to half of this allocation can be used to support non-RAS local entities/organizations associated with the TC conference activities. 3. These funds can generally be used to the benefit of the TC, but must be expended within IEEE and RAS policies and procedures as provided by the Financial Activities Board. It is moved that conference surplus sharing per the guidelines defined above be started in the 2013 budget cycle. | John Hollerbach | RAS 2011 October 1 AdCom Oct 1, 2011 |

| 10/1/11/RAS 2011 October 1 AdCom/7 | Proposed Scope of RAM: The IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine is a unique technology publication which is peer-reviewed, readable and substantive. The Magazine is a forum for articles which fall between the academic and theoretical orientation of scholarly journals and vendor sponsored trade publications. The IEEE Transactions on Robotics and the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering publish advances in theory and experiment that underpin the science of robotics and automation. The Magazine complements these publications and seeks to present new scientific results to the practicing engineer through a focus on working systems and emphasizing creative solutions to real-world problems and highlighting implementation details. The Magazine publishes regular technical articles that undergo a peer review process overseen by the Magazine's associate editors; special issues on important and emerging topics in which all articles are fully reviewed but managed by guest editors; tutorial articles written by leading experts in their field; and regular columns on topics including education, industry news, IEEE RAS news, technical and regional activity and a calendar of events. | Peter Luh | RAS 2011 October 1 AdCom Oct 1, 2011 |
