Sumit was vice-TPC chair. As Henning points out, TPCs have very little
involvement with the finances of a meeting.
There are many meetings where the general chair is also an academic -
e.g., Prof. Kurose was general co-chair of Infocom 2009. It is not
uncommon to have academics primarily involved with the TPC, and industry
primarily involved with the general planning. Many meetings benefit from
industrial support that industrial chairs are more likely to arrange.

Program chairs make decisions for individual meetings, but those budgets
are always approved and reviewed by the Comsoc. Fred *is* one of the
people who helps do that - he has helped organize and advise numerous
conferences. I have done the same within the ACM and IEEE.
We have been addressing money issues since they have been raised. Fred
has been coordinating with others within the Comsoc to provide useful
information for the basis of continued discussion.
