The ICC relies on presentations by its attendees to be as successful as possible. We welcome every one of our members and guests to make a presentation in any of the Subcommittees, Working Groups, or Discussion Groups. However, to maintain our integrity and the high quality of the presentations, we must enforce certain guidelines.
Information presented during Subcommittee sessions at the Insulated Conductors Committee meetings frequently reflects the state of the art for cable and accessory technology. As such, it is vital that a record of presentations be obtained and published. Submissions for the minutes are required to be an accurate copy of your presentation.
It is the ICC policy that all presenters must sign the ICC consent and release form as a condition of presenting. This ICC consent and release form gives the IEEE and ICC the right to publish the presentation in the minutes of the meeting. The author retains copyright. The presenter needs to get permission and consent from all of the authors and provide copies of the consents to ICC prior to presenting.
With the advent of the minutes being produced and available on a CD, the Guidelines have changed. All files for inclusion in the ICC meeting minutes are to be supplied electronically. All Presentations must be submitted to the Subcommittee Chair/Vice Chair before the meeting for preloading to allow for a smooth meeting and so as not to delay the production of the total meeting minutes. Exact deadlines for submission of presentations will be set by each Subcommittee Chair/Vice Chair. The presentation computer will NOT be available for preload immediately before each meeting. Therefore, prior submission to the appropriate Chair is a must.
Files should be identified so that the Subcommittee Chairs can easily identify the material and where it is to be inserted in their meeting minutes. (e.g., C.AuthorLastName.BriefTitle.ppt) Due to the software available on the ICC presentation computers, presentations are to be submitted in any Microsoft Office file format, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This also includes all Windows Multimedia video and audio file formats. Specific questions on the file formats should be directed to the appropriate Subcommittee Chair/Vice Chair.
All presentations must meet the following guidelines:
All Subcommittee Chairs/Vice Chairs will review your presentation to ensure guidelines are met before the meeting and before submitting their report to the Secretary responsible for producing the ICC Meeting Minutes. Any required changes to ensure the guidelines are met will be discussed with the Author.
The linked quiz/presentation was given at the Fall 2010 Meeting, to help make these points, especially those on commercialism, more clear as they relate to preparing presentations. Everyone, presenters especially, are encouraged to review this presentation.
