Thanks to all your supports, I have been awarded a Certificate of Recognition on behalf of Hong Kong Section from Professor Takako Hashimoto, 2017 of IEEE Membership Recruitment and Recovery Committee.

3. Voter registration in the ITFC 2017 The Registration and Electoral Office (REO) of HKSAR is reviewing the eligibility of the Chapter s members of (a) the Joint Chapter on Circuits and Systems/Communications (CAS/COM) (b) Computer Chapter as ITFC electors/voters. Chapters have direct access to their own membership information in the USA database requested by REO for voters registration reviews. Computer Chapter has done a good job in taking care of its members registration with REO. Thank you to all members of IEEE Hong Kong Section!!! 2. Section Finance We have received the Certificate of Registration of Society from the Police and hence duly registered for year 2017 despite Mr YW Liu and Mr Edward refused to co-operate or hand over the original Certificate of Registration for a smoother registration. Subsequently, in the past months, by email circulations, Section had four Committee meetings with unanimous decisions in approving the recovery of the Section bank accounts and changing the authorized signatories of Section Bank accounts. Also, in the past months, we, Section officers, have been contacting and visiting different banks in attempts to recover the control of the Section bank account(s). As Mr YW Liu is refusing to handover any bank statements to HK Section, we have not information about the bank accounts and need to spend lots of time and go through lengthy procedure to do it. However, without cooperation from the unknown account signatories of the Bank Accounts or even knowing who they are or the precise bank account numbers, the procedures of recovering those bank accounts of Hong Kong Section are quite complicate. Different banks have different requirements. In any case, we are making progress although this is taking time. Once we have any updates, we will inform members via newsletters. However, as of today, the CAS/COM Joint Chapter has never updated Section its status on whether they have held the AGM2016 or they have any officer nominations of 2017. IEEE HQ has informed Section that CAS/COM is inactive for 2016. It is noted that Mr YW has been heavily involved in the CAS/COM Chapter. According to the USA record, the CAS/COM Joint Chapter was inactive in 2016. Members of the CAS/COM chapter should avoid the chapter being dissolved IEEE by headquarters. It should also be noted that, as IEEE USA and IEEE HK Section are always politically neutral, chapter chairs should be responsible to communicate with REO for political interests of their own chapters.
