The old Region 1 designation will be replaced by a new Region 2 that merges the current Northeastern and Eastern U.S. areas. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region will split into two parts: Region 10 for North Asia and Region 11 for South Asia and the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Although the official change occurs on January 1, 2028, preparatory work has already started within IEEE&#8217;s Member and Geographic Activities.
