Ad Hoc Committee on Systems for Virtual Meeting Presence-CA2A732B

The charge of this committee was to recommend several possible systems that would allow electronic meetings of the Board of Directors of the AAPM. These systems should span a range of performance and cost that covers systems from basic conference calling to complete virtual presence. Some of the functions that should be included at various levels of complexity include: discussion participation, the ability to see projected material, and voting. Other features, such as the ability to communicate one-on-one with individuals at the Board meeting may be addressed as deemed appropriate.

This report was presented to the AAPM Board in the 2006 RSNA Board Packet. Notes from the minutes:

• Siergiej asked if it were be possible to add money to support recommendations from the ad hoc committee on virtual meetings. Keyser/Amols noted that there are EXCOM contingency funds and that there is a policy that permits expenditures not originally in the budget.
• 6. Virtual Meeting Presence
  Siergiej asked for Board approval to purchase the software package for AAPM virtual committee meetings, as explained in her ad hoc committee report in the pre-Board packet beginning on page 9. There was consensus to proceed.
• Additionally, an Ad Hoc Committee should be created to implement the ideas of the Ad Hoc Committee on Virtual Meeting Technology. The Chair to be Steve Sutlief.
