I am very pleased to inform you that the IEEE Board of Directors has approved the IEEE History Committee’s recommendation that your proposal be approved as an IEEE Milestone with the following citation:
Origin of the IEEE 802 Family of Networking Standards, 1980-1999
The necessity to standardize computer Local Area Networks (LANs) resulted in the IEEE Computer Society sponsoring LAN Standard Project 802 in 1980. Four 802 Working Groups formed by 1999 proved particularly successful and transformative: IEEE 802.1 (Bridging), IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi®), and IEEE 802.15 (Wireless Personal Area Networks). IEEE 802 standards defined ever-expanding networking speeds and features, thus enabling the seamless interconnection of computing devices worldwide.
(link to milestone page on ETHW https://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Milestone-Proposal:IEEE_802 )
Citations approved by the Board of Directors should be understood as final. Please note that any requested changes in the citation—beyond very minor grammatical ones—will almost certainly require re-approval, and would delay your milestone.
Next Steps:1) Date and location of the dedication ceremony. Milestone dedications are excellent opportunities for collaboration between IEEE and industry, government, and academia.
In choosing the date, please note that it takes 10-12 weeks for the foundry to cast and ship the plaques. This time cannot be shortened. Because the month of the dedication ceremony is cast on the plaque(s), the date must be decided before the plaques can be cast. The ceremony is entirely in the hands of the IEEE sponsoring organizational unit, but the IEEE History Center stands ready to assist. We recommend that you check the IEEE meetings calendar which can be found in the right-hand column of http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/board/index.html when considering a date so that the ceremony does not conflict with – or might even be planned in conjunction with – major IEEE meetings. This will maximize the chances for IEEE representation. The IEEE Foundation is also interested in collaboration with ceremonies, as these present opportunities for its outreach. The contact person at the Foundation is Danny DeLiberato d.deliberato@ieee.org .
2) Letting the IEEE Presidents’ office ( k.maizenaski@ieee.org ) know as soon in advance (up to two years) allows them to incorporate milestone dedication ceremonies in their travel schedules. The contact information for inviting the IEEE President (or representative) is the President’s office at http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/leadership.html. If you would like an IEEE president, past-president, or president-elect to attend the dedication ceremony, please confirm the date as early as possible, and also indicate which role the President will play -- a main speaker, milestone presenter, (or both), as well as roles of the other speakers on the agenda.
Templates which may help in planning the ceremony can be found on the Engineering & Technology History Wiki at: http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Milestones:Milestone_Dedication_Ceremony_Planning#Checklist_for_Planning_Milestone_Dedication_Ceremony The IEEE History Center does not have the facilities to mail invitations to lists on the Organizational Unit’s behalf.
IEEE History Center staff will be happy to place your milestone dedication on the IEEE History Center Events Page https://www.ieee.org/about/history-center/events.html Please send information and any registration or virtual streaming links to r.colburn@ieee.org
Virtual components are one way to reach a very broad audience for your dedication ceremony. If your dedication will have a virtual component, staff will be glad to submit it to the IEEE Events calendar section of the Member Benefits Bulletin. Please send information to r.colburn@ieee.org
Publicity templates and tools are available at https://brand-experience.ieee.org/toolkits/publicity-toolkit/ These help in the preparation of press releases and explain what IEEE Corporate Communications can and cannot do as far a helping to publicise your Milestone dedication.
3) How many plaques would you like? Do you wish to order plaques in additional languages? If local law and/or custom requires that additional plaques in a language other than English (the official language of the IEEE Milestone Program) -- or placed at a separate location -- History Center staff can have the non-English plaque(s) cast, and your organizational unit will be charged the same cost per plaque and shipping (see costs on milestone plaque order form, link below). When supplying a translation, please allow extra time for the IEEE History Committee to have the translation verified. The English version remains the official citation which will appear on the History Center’s Website and in other IEEE publications.
4) The plaque order form can be found at http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Plaque_Order_Form . Please be sure to include the street address you wish staff to ship the plaque(s) to, as well as a telephone number of the recipient. Milestone plaques are usually shipped either by UPS or FedEx.
5) The IEEE History Center requests that it receive payment for the plaque(s) prior to beginning the casting process. After you have sent the History Center the plaque order form, staff will then email you an invoice. The invoice will give instructions on the methods of payment. The invoice must be sent to an IEEE organizational unit because the IEEE History Center may not invoice non-IEEE sponsor(s). There are no exceptions to this policy. In cases where a corporation or other non-IEEE organization has agreed to sponsor the cost of the plaque(s), it will be the IEEE organizational unit’s responsibility to pay the History Center and to obtain reimbursement from the non-IEEE sponsor.
Methods of payment can also be found on the Engineering & Technology History Wiki (ETHW) under Milestone Frequently-Asked Questions: http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Milestone_Program_Frequently_Asked_Questions
Plaque dimensions and mounting details can be found at: http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Plaque_mounting_details and at http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Helpful_Hints_on_Citations,_Plaque_Locations
I look forward to helping you prepare a pleasurable and meaningful dedication ceremony. Again, congratulations on this important milestone.
Yours sincerely,
Robert ColburnMilestone Administrator
