Each year, the IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity elects one new member of the conference committee. This committee is the executive committee for the conference. The committee chooses the program committee chair, has a say in the program committee membership, picks sites for the annual meetings and considers other issues which affect the conference. We meet once a year, at the Complexity Conference, and have frequent email communication.
The election will be held at the business meeting of this year's conference in Paris. The meeting will begin at 8:30pm on Thursday, June 10th. If you wish to nominate someone (including yourself) please send an email to the current committee chair, Peter Bro Miltersen (bromille@cs.au.dk).
The conference committee consists of
- a chair (with a 3-year term)
- a publicity chair (no limit on term)
- a past chair (during transition periods)
- 6 other members each with 3-year terms, selected as follows: Each year, the terms of 2 members expire, and they are replaced by 2 new members. One of these members is elected at the business meeting at the conference, and one member is appointed by the committee.
