of 1997. The website had been launched at the Spring meeting that year (the
ICC's last visit to the Scottsdale Doubletree). To see how we have changed
over the years you can visit
http://web.archive.org/ and enter our URL. Here are some sample pages:

Fall Meeting - Registration
-
The meeting has been finalized for Sunday Oct. 30 through Wed. Nov. 2 at the
Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. Attached is the
registration form for our meeting. Unfortunately, since the T&D committee
accepted registration money for us at the joint T&D meeting, we have no
access to those funds and we'll have to wait for the T&D committee to refund
our money individually. This also means that we
will have to pay for this meeting as we do all of our meetings. I have sent
a note to the T&D committee asking about refunding the ICC registration
fees, but haven't received an answer as to when this will happen. It will
occur, but the timing is still unknown. So please work with us as we have to
collect this registration fee to pay for our meeting. The last date for
pre-registration is October 14. If you register before then, you will get
the early registration fee of $165 for IEEE members and $175 for
non-members. After October 14th, the registration fee goes up to $185 for
IEEE members and $195 for non-members, so register
early.
- September 14, 2005 -
Fall Meeting - Hotel Registration
-
The ICC rate for the Doubletree Paradise Valley
Resort Hotel is $139 per night for singles and $149 per night for doubles.
Please register with them at 1-877-445-6677 to reserve a room for the
conference. They will only hold our rooms at the guaranteed rate until
October 7, so make your reservations early. If you'd like to arrive early or
stay after our meeting, just let them know when you register and they will
honor our rate if rooms are available.
- September 11, 2005 -
Fall Meeting Update from Chairman Taylor
-
We are still saddened by the tragedy in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. As
they rebuild, we will also go on with our fall meeting. Jim has been working
with the
Doubletree Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ to work out
a last minute contract and sight for our meeting. The contract should be
finalized early this week and at that time we will send out a registration
form and other pertinent information. As an advance note, the time slot that
works for the hotel is Sunday Oct. 30 through Wed. Nov. 2, so if possible,
please block out that time slot in your calendars for the ICC meeting. I
know there will be conflicts with notice being this short, but we have
received input that most people feel we should have a meeting to continue
work on our standards. Please continue to support the recovery efforts for
the Gulf Coast and support our meeting. More information to follow in the
next few days.

I have received lots of questions about the situation in New Orleans. If
you've been checking the T&D website,
http://www.ieeet-d.org/ then you know that the IEEE is looking for an alternative location.
Until they make a decision, we will wait for them. If the show is cancelled,
then we have tentative plans to have our normal meeting, on our own, and
have contacted and have a proposal for Phoenix, AZ. for the end of October.
If the T&D is able to find a place, relocate and proceed with the
conference, then we will still meet with them. The meeting will definitely
not occur in New Orleans and we'll let you know as additional information
becomes available.

The topic of 600 volt underground secondary cable is seldom discussed at ICC
meetings where medium and high voltage underground cables receive most
attention. However, underground secondary cables form an important part of a
utility system considering larger utilities install more than 1 million ft.
of underground secondary cable per year and spend several million dollars
annually on secondary underground cable repair costs. This Educational
Program will focus on the topic of underground residential and commercial
services and underground streetlight cables. Presentations from the cable
manufacturers will cover the manufacture, design, materials and industry
specifications covering secondary cables. Learn about the latest secondary
cable design technologies and their potential benefits. Presentations from
the utilities will focus on their experience with underground secondary
cables and splices. The Educational Program will also feature a presentation
on the results of a utility survey on secondary cables conducted
specifically for the benefit of utilities attending this session.
