******Reminder:  March 31, 2012 Deadline approaching ***************

Dear TC chairs and vice chairs,

As you probably know we have conducted during the last year a portfolio 
analysis of ComSoc's financially sponsored conferences.

One of the findings was that currently ComSoc is lacking a major 
conference focusing on security technologies, beyond the security 
symposia in our flagship conferences GLOBECOM and ICC. On the other hand 
Security, Privacy and Trust are topics of rapidly growing importance and 
interest in the community, especially when we think about the ever 
growing importance of trends like pervasive computing, cloud computing, 
e-commerce, e-government and others. They are of interest to many ComSoc 
TCs, TC CIS, TC CC and many others

In the meantime we have received several proposals focusing on specific 
sub-areas of security topics. In order to do it right from the beginning 
we would like to invite interested ComSoc researchers to help shaping 
ComSoc's new core security conference.

Therefore we ask all TCs to distribute this "call for proposal" to 
their members.

Call for Proposal
-----------------

Please submit a proposal covering the following items:

Technically:
---------------
- security and privacy technologies covered
- Technical committee chair persons as
   well as TPC members, as well as
   how will you recruit further TPC members
- Review process
- Conference Technical program content
- academic and industry program components

Organization and Venue:
---------------------
- conference venue
- conference dates and preparation schedule
- local organizers
- budget plan
- possible patrons (typically major
   industry in the region)
- travel logistics and hotel costs
- (technically) co-sponoring organization (if any)
- etc

Whereas we welcome proposals covering both aspects (Technical Program as 
well as Venue and Organization), this is not a hard requirement. It is 
entirely possible to propose only one of both aspects and let the 
selection committee recommend collaboration between a technical and 
organizing group.

All proposals should be sent to ComSoc's conference leadership team (VP 
of conferences and 3 Conference Directors)

conferenceleadership at comsoc.org

Deadline for Proposals is March 31, 2012. The Target date for the first 
conference to happen is 2. half of 2013.

The conference leadership team will study the various proposals in 
April, possibly ask for clarification and revision and then decide 
before ICC 2012 in Ottawa. I want to hold a first meeting with the 
successful proposing team at ICC in Ottawa.

Please note, this is planned to be an annual conference, so don't be 
frustrated if your proposal does not make it in the first attempt, there 
will be many more chances in the coming years.

For any proposals or other questions you may have, please mail to 
conferenceleadership at comsoc.org.

Kind regards
Heiner Stuettgen
