Abstract :
One of last duties of the outgoing IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTTS) president is to represent the Society in the fall meeting of the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB). Usually, the fall meeting is a busy one, with IEEE Societies initiating projects with the start of the new calendar year, which also coincides with the beginning of the IEEE´s fiscal year. Some initiatives take several months to materialize and often receive their final approval in the TAB fall meeting, or harvest season if one can use this metaphor. In this column, I will share with you one news item as well as thoughts from the 2010 harvest season.
