Revised Extra Chapter Subsidy
Guidelines
Basic Principle: Biannual Windows


To enable the Subsidy Committee to compare requests before approving or
disapproving them, chapters may only apply for an Extra Subsidy during two
application "windows" per year:
· April 1– May 1
· October 1 – November 1
Extra chapter subsidies must be submitted separately of regular, annual chapter
maintenance subsidy applications.
Principle #2: "Triage"
 If the applications within each biannual window overrun half of the Society’s
annual extra subsidy budget, preference will be given to chapters that did not
receive funding the previous year, or received less than $5K. In other words,
chapters may be restricted to $5K over a two year period, depending upon
the volume of requests.

Japan Chapter Selected as First Recipient of
SSCS Outstanding Chapter Award – 2000
Hajime Ishikawa, Chair of the Japan Chapter, said, Japan has hosted a lot
of unique activities. They have co-organized three conferences,
initiated a new student award, and had very strong membership
growth. Their seminar on Wireless and Mobile Access was particularly
successful." The seminar featured Professor Paul Grey of UC Berkeley,
who spoke on "Recent progress in ICs for wireless communications," and
Dr. Masahiro Morikura of NTT, whose talk was "System aspect and service
concept of multimedia mobile access communications."
The Japan Chapter also organized a valuable review meeting of ISSCC
2000. The goal of this meeting was to help bring the essence of the
conference to Society members who could not attend. The review
meeting consisted of 12 selected papers from ISSCC and two
lectures. The ISSCC Far East Committee Chairman, Dr. Youichi Unno,
presented a conference overview along with some of the remarkable
achievements and technology trends presented at the conference this
year.
In addition to the ISSCC Review Meeting, the Japan Chapter
cosponsored the Asia-Pacific Conference on ASIC (AP-ASIC),
Seoul, Korea, in August 1999. This was the first conference to
promote ASIC design research and development activities in the AsiaPacific region. The Chapter also cosponsored the VDEC LSI
Designers Forum in September 1999 and the 3rd System LSI
Biwalo Workshop in November 1999, which attracted more than 300
participants.
