   Dear all,
   here come the hard numbers (count done on June 2nd, 2013
   using   [1]http://www.comsoc.org/calendar )
       
             This Year (July 12 - June 13)    ComSoc   co- sponsored
             87 events  including 31 Comsoc Portfolio Conferences.
   Now we can start thinking: Is that to much for our area? to few? just
   right?
   best

     Hi, all,
     I completely agree that we need to be diligent in how many
     conferences we endorse.
     Over the past few years, here's what I've done to try to impact
     that:
         - created TCCC criteria for endorsement that considers
     overload,
         and documents the requirements so they can be applied more
         consistently
         [2]http://committees.comsoc.org/tccc/conferences/endorsement.ht
     ml
         - revised the ComSoc TCS process to clearly indicate the review
         criteria and which ones are critical
         [3]http://www.comsoc.org/files/Conferences/TCSRP.pdf
             this includes the suggestion that at TC should endorse
             a meeting only when it can speak for the quality of
             the entire conference
         - revised the TCS endorsement process so that a single TC
     member
         can be listed as monitoring at most two meetings per calendar
         year
     Note that most of these involved more process, not less. The point
     of process is not to constrain things, though - it's to make the
     ComSoc more a place where consistency is expected, where
     expectations are clear, and where decisions can be publicly
     scrutinized and discussed.
     So overall, I think the TCCC has been doing a good job at this. But
     we're just one voice in a very large ComSoc.
     NOTE 1: ICC is coming up very shortly; if you are attending or even
     in the area, and you care about these issues, I encourage you to
     attend the ComSoc management meetings and speak your mind.
     NOTE 2: ComSoc elections are underway. If you care about these
     issues, then press the candidates on their stand and consider their
     positions on these issues in your votes.
     Joe
