Hi, all,
Two-week call for feedback on update to P&P
The TCCC is in the process of its periodic (every 3 years)
re-certification by the Technical Activities Board.
As part of that process, we have realized TCCC was lacking a current
Policies and Procedures manual. Most of the relevant information was
already on our website and had been the result of list discussions, but
it was not collected.
We noted that TCCC once had a P&P manual back in 2001:
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/tccc/policies.txt
We've reformatted that text, and updated it in three places, noted
below. The current version is placed here for review:
http://www.isi.edu/touch/TCCC-pnp.pdf
Specific updates are:
1) elections now refers to Instant Runoff Voting,
which we've been using for a few election cycles,
and appears to work well
2) now lists only three elected officers, as per our practice
since approx. 2007 (we do not elect the conference coordinator;
that is appointed now).
3) now includes the detailed procedures for conference/workshop
endorsement, which have already been on our website as per
earlier email discussions several years ago (all of Sec 10.1)
As per the P&P, this commences a two-week "last call" for discussion on
this updated P&P manual. If you have any concerns with these additions,
please raise them now and we will discuss them on the list.
Please note that this is not a call for other modifications to the P&P
manual; that can commence when the new officers are inducted in October.
Thanks,
Joe (TCCC Chair), on behalf of the TCCC Officers
