Hi, all, 

This is my final note to the list as TCCC Chair. I have been glad to 
serve this community for the past four years. 

I'd like to recognize the hard work of everyone on this list, and the 
elected officers I've been privileged to serve with: 
Sonia Fahmy Vice Chair 2008-2010 
Xiaoming Fu Vice-Chair 2010-2012, Secretary 2008-2010 
Martin Reisslen Secretary 2010-2012 

as well as the following volunteers: 
Joerg Ott conf. coordinator/monitor 
Patrick Seeling web coordinator 
R Venkatesha Prasad ComSoc Standards Board liason 
Fan Zhong Smart Grid ad-hoc committee rep. 
Chunming Qiao & Kun Yang Cloud ad-hoc committee reps. 

Over the past four years, they and you together have enabled TCCC to: 
- coordinated TCCC re-certification twice 
completed recertification in 11/2009 
2012 recertification is currently underway 
- developed detailed meeting endorsement policies 
substantially raising the bar for meeting endorsements 
a subset of which the ComSoc has adopted 
- documented our policies and procedures 
- completely revised and updated our website 
- posted results of our conf issues discussion online 
- transferred the e-mail list to IEEE ComSoc servers (underway) 
- organized four successful Computer Communications Workshops 
- held TCCC meetings at ICC, Globecom, and Infocom conferences 
- nominated chairs for symposia at ICC and Globecom 
- nominated ComSoc Distinguished Lecturers and IEEE Experts 

As you may recall, we also all had a detailed discussion of conference 
operations and participation in Dec 2009-Jan 2010, addressing: 
presentations by non-authors 
conference cost issues 
pay-for-publication issues 
participation by disadvantaged authors 
This discussion resulted in changes to current ComSoc policy: 
- all financially-sponsored ComSoc conferences now 
require that all papers are presented by named authors 
- most ComSoc conferences now use EDAS for publishing 
CDROM/USB proceedings, resulting in a significant cost reduction 

I'd would like to thank everyone on this list again for your support and 
participation over the past four years. As I have noted, I will continue 
to support the ComSoc in my role as Director of Conference Operations, 
to represent the entire ComSoc community and ensure the best possible 
conference experience to authors and attendees alike. 

I also look forward to participating with you side-by-side in support of 
the incoming officers, and to seeing you at the next ComSoc event.
