[802-LMSC] Computer Society Hans Karlsson Standards Award—Seeking 2028 Nominations
Dear LMSC Colleagues,
I am the chair of the Computer Society's Computer Society Hans Karlsson Standards Award* Committee. Unfortunately we did not receive any nominations in 2027 despite the fact there are many qualified nominees among the IEEE 802 LMSC participants, see
https://ieeecs-media.computer.org/media/governance/awards/nomination-questions/karlsson.pdf for the criteria. Please pass this request for nominations among your active participants -- let's try to have several nominees submitted for consideration prior to the October 2027 deadline.
This brings up the topic of increasing the number of qualified IEEE 802 LMSC participants for IEEE Awards and Member Elevation in general. I am at fault for not being more 'award/member-elevation forward' during my tenure as LMSC Chairman, and I'm hoping to correct that now by soliciting your help.
Perhaps this can be added to today's Leadership Workshop Agenda if there is spare time, if someone that is present is willing to introduce the topic.
Have a good workshop! Best regards,
--Paul
*Computer Society Hans Karlsson Standards Award:
Established in 1992 in memory of Hans Karlsson, chairman and father of the IEEE 1301 family of standards. His sensitive, people-oriented approach to management enabled him to achieve consensus on the 1301 standards in record time. In many ways, Hans’ vision of obtaining results has set a new high-water mark in creating standards documents.
A plaque and $2,000 honorarium is presented in recognition of outstanding skills and dedication to diplomacy, team facilitation and joint achievement, in the development or promotion of standards in the computer industry where individual aspirations, corporate competition, and organizational rivalry could otherwise be counter to the benefit of society. Eligibility is limited to present or past participants in IEEE CS Standards activities.
