[Statement] Even after the earthquake in 2011, there exist strong world-wide requests for the leadership of Japan in ICT technologies. Importance and responsibility of IEICE is increasing for the innovation in ICT-intensive nation, Japan. To accomplish this role, IEICE should provide the members with informations, vehicles, chances and motivations for strengthing research and development in ICT. Collaboration with industry should be accelerated. The financial bases of IEICE are drastically changing with the trends of open access as well as increasing number of conferences. However, monthly meetings of technical committees, publication and conferences remain three important technical activities and advantages in IEICE. I would like to reinforce these for enhancing the sustainability and the presence of IEICE. Two urgent issues seem to be “open archives” and “international conferences” both with the widespread publication vehicle such as IEEE Xplore.
