Potential Actions for TAC

• ComSoc asked for a representative to the SoS
  Planning Committee
• Pradeep Ray has accepted that position pending
  successful application for ComSoc sponsorship
• Note that conference treasurer position is also
  offered to member societies
• Member Societies requested to provide a list of
  candidate technical chapters that could be joint
  with Systems Council
• Present IEEE Systems Journal as an option for
  ComSoc member renewals
• Make information available for SysC Knowledge
