In accordance with the TCCC bylaws, we are soliciting nominations for
candidates to run for TCCC officer positions. This call for
nominations will close at 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, September 18th,
2010.
The elections will be held between September 20 and October 20, 2010.
TCCC has three elected officers, with responsibilities as follows:
(1) Chair: The Chair sets overall direction and policy, in
consultation with other officers and the TCCC membership, coordinates
the activities of other TCCC officers, chairs the TCCC meetings,
represents the committee in the ComSoc Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC), and initiates elections for vacant officer positions. The
chair, in consultation with the other officers, also approves or
denies requests for TCCC to technically co-sponsor conferences and
workshops.
(2) Vice Chair: The Vice Chair fulfills the duties of the Chair in his
or her absence.
(3) Secretary: The Secretary maintains the TCCC web page and mailing
list(s), deals with questions regarding mailing list postings and web
page, arranges for meeting facilities for TCCC meetings, announces
these meetings to the TCCC membership, compiles minutes of the
meetings, and participates in the discussions of the TCCC officers.
Officers are elected for renewable terms of two years.
Nominations are requested for all three offices.
Eligibility Requirements
------------------------
Any member of the TCCC can nominate candidates, including himself or
herself. At the time of election, candidates must be members of the
IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Communications Society Affiliate or
IEEE Communications Society Sister Society.
Candidates nominated must agree to serve before being put on a ballot.
A candidate may run for more than one office. If a candidate is elected
for Chair, he or she is removed from consideration for all other offices.
Similarly, if a candidate is elected for Vice Chair, he or she is removed
from consideration for Secretary. Votes for candidates removed from
consideration for a particular position are discarded.
Procedures:
-----------
Nominations can be sent to fahmy@cs.purdue.edu
The nomination must include (a) nominator(s) IEEE membership number,
(b) the name of the candidate (c) the email address of the candidate
and (d) the position that the nomination is for.
All nominations must be received at or before 11:59 PM EDT on
Saturday, September 18th, 2010.
The details of the balloting procedure will be circulated on the TCCC
mailing list after the close of the nomination period. All members of
TCCC who are registered on the mailing list at 11:59 PM EDT on
Saturday, September 18th, 2010 will be eligible to vote in this
election.
For each position, all TCCC members will rank candidates in their
order of preference, 1, 2, 3, etc. It takes a majority to win. If
anyone receives a majority of the first choice votes, that candidate
is elected. If not, the last place candidate is defeated, just as in a
runoff election, and all ballots are counted again, but this time each
ballot cast for the defeated candidate counts for the next choice
candidate listed on the ballot. The process of eliminating the last
place candidate and recounting the ballots continues until one
candidate receives a majority of the vote.
More details on runoff voting can be found at
http://www.fairvote.org/irv/faq.htm.
If the above procedure results in a tie, ties will be resolved by
randomization.
Thank you,
Sonia Fahmy
Vice Chair, TCCC
