Re: Site owner permission to place IEEE Milestone plaque commemorating [name of milestone]

Dear IEEE Milestone Administrator,

[Site owner] agrees to host the proposed IEEE Milestone plaque(s) commemorating [name of milestone] and to permit the plaque(s) to be installed at [address of property] in a place where the plaque(s) will be viewable by the public. [Provide details of plaque installation, placement, number of plaques, and whether there will be plaque(s) in languages other than English.]

The plaque(s), which will be bronze, will be 12 inches x 18 inches, and carry a citation in English, the official language of IEEE, describing the technical achievement being recognized as a milestone. [Additional plaques carrying a translation of the citation into the local language(s) may also be cast if the IEEE Sponsoring organization and the site owner agree. Note here if there will be translated plaques, and -- if so -- in which language(s)]

The cost of installation will be borne by the IEEE organizational unit sponsoring the milestone, and the plaque will remain the property of IEEE. Should the plaque(s) need to be removed for reasons such as building renovation, [the site owner] will notify the IEEE History Center so that IEEE can make arrangements for the care of the plaque(s).

Sincerely,

[Site Owner Signature]
