About this Web Site - technical information for web masters
Logo The IEEE Canadian Foundation logo is similar to that used by IEEE Canada. We use the same symbols to demonstrate our close relationship. The logo represents the historical development of IEEE Canada. Please click here to find out more about this logo.

Domain Name The IEEE Canadian Foundation domain name (www.ieeecanadianfoundation.org) is registered by the foundation board of directors.

Host This site is hosted by IEEE using the Entity Web Hosting (ewh) service which is administered by the IEEE Regional Activities staff. The hosting server is http://ewh.ieee.org and the foundation URL is www.ewh.ieee.org/r7/cafoundation

Redirection A commercial redirection service is used to redirect the registered domain name to the web site location on the IEEE server.

Mailing Lists Mailing lists that are used to communicate with various groups of foundation volunteers and with Canadian IEEE student branches are hosted by IEEE at majordomo.ieee.org and can be requested at the following site: http://eleccomm.ieee.org/maillist.shtml and are managed using MajorCool at the following site: http://eleccomm.ieee.org/cgi-bin/majorcool

Forms Forms that are used to obtain information from student branches and their associated IEEE volunteers are processed using a standard CGI script maintained by IEEE staff and available at the following site: http://ewh.ieee.org/tools/bnbform.html

IEEE Aliases IEEE personal aliases are used by foundation volunteers and IEEE functional aliases are used for specific services. IEEE aliases can be obtained by IEEE members and IEEE entities using the following site: http://eleccomm.ieee.org

IEEE Canadian Foundation Aliases A limited number of functional aliases are used in connection with the foundation's most visible contact addresses (such as grants@ieeecanadianfoundation.org). These aliases are part of the foundation's domain name service, and point to associated IEEE aliases to retain the IEEE virus protection benefit.

IEEE Web Guidelines IEEE provides guidelines on web page design (appearance, content, navigation, etc.), templates, and graphic images at the following site: http://www.ieee.org/web/developers/index.html

Costs The domain name registration and the redirection services are paid for by the foundation, all other above services are provided free of charge to IEEE members and IEEE volunteers whose needs meet certain guidelines (see the above links for more information).
