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?

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
