an issue or concern including complaints and disputes related to IEEE Technical Activities programs, projects, or activities, that have not been resolved through established procedures. This includes, but is not limited to, the work of the Technical Activities Board, Societies, Technical Councils, Technical Communities, and their subgroups, as well as other IEEE and non-IEEE organizational units.</p> <p>The TAB Ombudsperson will investigate these issues or concerns and determine appropriate resolution pathways. In some instances, this pathway may be to refer the matter to a committee (e.g., TAB Conflict Resolution Committee, IEEE Election Oversight Committee). He will provide guidance (non-binding) on resolution of the matter. He will deal with or mediate matters only after exhausting all other available processes. Normally, the TAB Ombudsperson shall not be involved in routine issues of non-fulfillment, although may be involved if the non-fulfillment is a systemic problem.</p> <p>If you have an issue or concern, email the Ombudsperson at <a href="mailto:ob-ta@ieee.org?subject=TAB%20Ombudsman">ob-ta@ieee.org</a>.</p> <p>If you have general questions about IEEE Technical Activities and are not sure who to ask, you can use the <a href="/ta-answer-central" target="_blank">TA Answer Central web form</a> to submit your questions on a broad range of topics.</p> <div class="clearfix"></div></article> <div id="content-column-1" class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9"> <hr class="visible-sm-block visible-xs-block" /> <ul class="nav navbar-nav menu"> <li id="secondary-nav" class="menu-title visible-sm visible-xs"><span class="secondary-nav-text">More Topics within</span> Ombudsperson</li><li class="item-1470 child"><a href="/ta-answer-central" ><span>TA Answer Central</span></a></li><li class="item-1276 active child"><a href="/ta-answer-central/ombudsperson" ><span>Ombudsperson</span></a></li><li class="item-1443 child"><a href="/ta-answer-central/faq" ><span>FAQ</span></a></li><li class="item-1547 parent"><a href="/ta-answer-central/ta-ops-site-content-policies" ><span>TA Ops Site Content Policies</span></a></li></ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <footer class="hidden-print"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <hr class="footer-separator"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-10"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li> <a href="https://ta.ieee.org/" title="Home">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://ta.ieee.org/home/sitemap" title="Sitemap">Sitemap</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://ta.ieee.org/ta-answer-central" title="Contact IEEE TA">Contact IEEE TA</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ieee.org/accessibility_statement.html" title="Accessibility">Accessibility</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/governance/p9-26.html" title="Nondiscrimination Policy">Nondiscrimination Policy</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/20410/index.html" title="IEEE Ethics Reporting">IEEE Ethics Reporting</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ieee.org/security_privacy.html" title="IEEE Privacy Policy">IEEE Privacy Policy</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ieee.org/about/help/site-terms-conditions.html" title="Terms & Disclosures">Terms & Disclosures</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <a href="http://www.ieee.org" title="IEEE.org" class="pull-right"> <img src="/templates/ieeesitetemplate/images/ieee-mb-wh.png" alt="IEEE"> </a> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <p> <span class="sitename">IEEE Technical Activities Operations</span> <span class="sitetagline"></span> </p> </p> © Copyright 2024 IEEE - All rights reserved.
