As a follow-up of the IEEE 802 milestone ceremony on Sunday, 19 May 2024, IEEE Computer Society is willing to donate USD $25,000 to the IEEE South California Council to meet Brian Berg (IEEE History Committee vice chair)'s request. *As per Brian's information: * Dedication of IEEE Milestone plaques for TCP, IEEE 802 LAN/MAN, and Page Ranks/Google is scheduled for Sunday, May 19 from 1pm 5pm at the Stanford University Memorial Auditorium. * Brian explained that some aspects of the May 19 event are being geared toward the 50 th anniversary of the Internet, with the TCP Milestone (recognizing the Cerf/Kahn 1974 paper) being the inspiration for the Internet. * Per Brian, about 1700 guests are expected to attend. The event will be live- streamed on IEEE.tv.
*About the milestone ceremony: IEEE President Tom Coughlin will kick off the event, then Brian will introduce the milestones. The three milestones will be presented in this order: 1. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Enables the Internet, 1974 -Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn to participate 2. Origin of the IEEE 802 Family of Networking Standards, 1980-1999 3. PageRank and the Birth of Google, 1996-1998 Each milestone has a 30-minute slot on the agenda: 20-25 minutes for speakers and 5 minutes for the plaque presentation.
*For IEEE 802 event, 1) Two speakers from Computer Society will give brief introductory remarks: President Jyotika (1-2 minutes), potentially History Committee Chair Thomas Haigh (1-2 minutes). 2) Maris Graube may speak here or participate in an event as mentioned in item 3 below. 3) These remarks will be followed by a 20-minute event, e.g., a panel discussion with two to three panelists. The panelists are to be confirmed but early 802 volunteer leader Maris Graube may be a potential panelist. Also need to determine the moderator. 4) After the panel session, the 802 Milestone plaque will be revealed, the citation read, and a photograph taken. 5) Tom Coughlin and Brian Berg "present" it to (fill in names), and with (names) reciting the 3 sentences of the plaque. Tom Coughlin and Brian will stand on one side; Jyotikaand two to three 802 individuals should stand on the other side.
* CS staff to follow up with Brian about the registration page. * Edward to work with 802 leaders to distribute the registration link to 802 participants. * 802: Need to plan for the 20-minutes event * 802: Need Identify two or three individuals who will read the three-sentence citation on the plaque. Free registration for 400 seats for the CS and IEEE 802 community. Brian said that we would receive a link to register attendees for free. The details were vague and the website has not yet been set up. The deadline for allocating the seats was initially April 10, but on the call, Brian said the deadline was April 15.
