Dear TCCC Members,
In accordance with the TCCC bylaws, I am sending this mail to solicit
nominations for candidates who would want to run for the positions.
The call for nominations will close at 12, noon, on Sept. 28th, 2012.
TCCC has three elected officers, with responsibilities as follows:
(1) Chair
The Chair sets overall direction and policy, in consultation with other
officers and the TCCC membership, coordinates the activities of other TCCC
Officers, chairs the TCCC meetings, represents the committee in the ComSoc
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and initiates elections for vacant officer
positions. The chair, in consultation with the other officers, also approves or
denies requests for TCCC to technically co-sponsor conferences and workshops.
(2) Vice Chair
The Vice Chair fulfills the duties of the Chair in his or her absence.
(3) Secretary
The Secretary maintains the TCCC web page and mailing list(s), deals with
questions regarding mailing list postings and web page, arranges for meeting
facilities for TCCC meetings, announces these meetings to the TCCC membership,
compiles minutes of the meetings, and participates in the discussions of the
TCCC Officers.
Officers are elected for renewable terms of two years.
Nominations are requested for all three offices.
Eligibility Requirements
--------------------------
Any member of the TCCC can nominate candidates, including himself or herself.
At the time of election, candidates must be members of the IEEE Communications
Society, IEEE Communications Society Affiliate or IEEE Communications Society
Sister Society.
Candidates nominated must agree to serve before being put on a ballot.
A candidate may run for more than one office. If a candidate is elected for an
office, he or she is removed from consideration for lower office.
Procedures:
------------
All nominations must be made via email to the address reissl... at asu.edu. The
nomination must include (a) the name of the candidate (b) the email of the
candidate and (c) the position that the nomination is for. All nominations must
be received at the above address at or before 12, noon, on Sept 28th, 2012.
The details of the balloting procedure will be circulated on the TCCC mailing
list after the close of the nomination period. All members of TCCC who are
registered on the mailing list specified at
http://committees.comsoc.org/tccc/mailing_list/index.html will be eligible to
vote in the 2012 elections.
For each position, all TCCC members will rank candidates in their order of
preference, 1, 2, 3, etc. It takes a majority to win. If anyone receives a
majority of the first choice votes, that candidate is elected. If not, the last
place candidate is defeated, just as in a runoff election, and all ballots are
counted again, but this time each ballot cast for the defeated candidate counts
for the next choice candidate listed on the ballot. The process of eliminating
the last place candidate and recounting the ballots continues until one
candidate receives a majority of the vote.
More details on runoff voting can be found at
