Hi, all,

In Dec. 2009, Lars Eggert kicked off a discussion on this list regarding 
concerns about non-author presenters, which led to a number of other 
issues, including conference costs, which were investigated at length on 
this list.

I have some news regarding the original thread. In my new role as 
Director of Conference Operations, I had the opportunity to raise some 
motions at ICC based on these discussions this past week.

I am please to summarize two motions that passed:

	1) The ComSoc "no-show" policy has been updated to indicate
	that papers must be presented by one of its authors.

	2) A new ComSoc policy has been established that prohibits
	changing the author list of a paper after the CFP due date.

These policies directly reflect concerns raised on this list, and - as 
always - there are provisions in the ComSoc for handling exceptions 
where warranted. The exact text will appear on all new CFPs and 
submission sites of ComSoc conferences.

If you have other issues you'd like to have considered, please do post 
them here. I *am* listening.

Joe (TCCC Chair and Director of Conference Operations)
