<div dir="ltr">Dear RoboCuppers,<br>
<br>
Currently, IEEE-<span class="gmail-m_7336043556011625027gmail-il">RAS</span>
is running the election of AdCom members. Standing for election is,
amongst other, Prof. Minoru Asada, former president of the RoboCup
Federation.<br>
<br>
In our efforts to strengthen relationships with other academic
organizations, we have already established several relationships with
IEEE-<span class="gmail-m_7336043556011625027gmail-il">RAS</span>, for example, we have established a TC from RoboCup in the IEEE. <br><br>In addition, having Minoru as an AdCom member for IEEE-<span class="gmail-m_7336043556011625027gmail-il">RAS</span>,
would be of significant importance for RoboCup. As one of the founders
of RoboCup, Minoru runs still many activities in RoboCup. As a member
of the IEEE-RAS AdCom, he would form a tight connection between RoboCup
and IEEE-<span class="gmail-m_7336043556011625027gmail-il">RAS</span>.<br>
<br>
We believe it would be a great opportunity for both RoboCup and the IEEE
to support him, and if you join us in that belief, we would like to
invite you, as RoboCuppers, to vote for him. To do so, if you have an
IEEE membership and are in the appropriate region, please visit<br>

Thank you in advance.<br>
