6.6.1Robert Schmedake 6.6.1.1Motion
To: Executive Council, International System Safety Society
From: Russell Mitchell, C. S. P., OVP Professional Development
Subj: Submission of Member Upgrade Application for Executive Council Consideration
The Professional Development Committee, with concurrence from the Membership Committee, has carefully reviewed the subject application for membership upgrade to Fellow Member. Mr. Robert Schmedake far exceeds the standards established for upgrade and the Professional Development Committee concurs with his request. A synopsis of his application is attached for your review and consideration, as are the recommendation letters collected by the committee.
Mr. Schmedake has served the Society and the profession tirelessly and continuously in many ways. Among his accomplishments, Bob has served the Virtual Chapter, the G-48 Committee, and several other special government teams and has risen to the top within his company, The Boeing Company, as a technical fellow. His papers include Best paper awards from Conference. He now serves us as President. His application identifies and I have concurred with no less than 156 points. This is twice the expected number of points and this upgrade is too long in coming. Attached you will find recommendations from Mr. David West, Dr. Rodney Simmons, and Mr. Steven Mattern, all Fellow members in good standing. I urge you to consider this recommendation as it stands with full merit as a qualified representation of Mr. Schmedake’s qualifications, body of work, and depth of service to the Society and to the practice of system safety.
With Regards,

6.6.2Don Swallom 6.6.2.1Motion
To: Executive Council, International System Safety Society
From: Russell Mitchell, C. S. P., OVP Professional Development
Subj: Submission of Member Upgrade Application for Executive Council Consideration
The Professional Development Committee, with concurrence from the Membership Committee, has carefully reviewed the subject application for membership upgrade to Fellow Member. Mr. Don Swallom exceeds the standards established for upgrade and the Professional Development Committee concurs with his request. A synopsis of his Senior application is attached for your review and consideration. Don’s Fellow application in hard copy will also be available for review if requested. Hard copies of the recommendations from John Livingston, David West, and Steven Mattern will be available for review during the motion’s consideration.
There are many considerations in reviewing candidates for upgrade but the single stipulation for Fellow members is that they must present evidence that they have 35 or more points in the area of Contributing Achievements beyond those used to qualify for senior member.
Occasionally, the committee reconsiders the point scoring made for senior members applying for Fellow because the senior members frequently have extra points as well as contributing achievements. In these cases, the Contributing Achievements points are isolated and the Senior application recalculated to ensure that the other points they have recorded when becoming senior members exceed the required 35 points so that as Fellow applicants the Contributing Achievements they did not need to use for senior upgrade are then available for Fellow upgrade. For example, as a senior member applicant, Don secured as many as 129 points where only 35 are required. 11.9 of these points were in Contributing Achievements. For other candidates, we have regularly considered that the points in Contribution Achievements were not “needed” to qualify them for senior and these points are then brought to bear upon their Fellow requirements. In Don’s case, he has earned, in addition to continuing to collect points in Experience and Professional Achievements, an additional 38 points in Contributing Achievements. To do this in the 5 years since his senior upgrade, Don has had to demonstrate continuous involvement in Society offices and assignments since his upgrade. This dedication is exactly the quality reflected in a Fellow of the Society. Don has met the criteria for Contributing Achievement in a superlative way, without any need to consider the 11.9 points of Contributing Achievements he had performed before he was a senior member. In total, as a fellow applicant, Don stands with over 205 points, nearly 3 times the points required.
Don’s service the Society and to the profession are meritorious and numerous, literally continuous, and reflect the qualities we would expect of a fellow of the society. I urge you to consider this recommendation as it stands with full merit as a qualified representation of Mr. Swallom’s qualifications, body of work, and depth of service to the Society and to the practice of system safety.
