Call for Nominations: Speech and Language Technical Committee (SLTC) Member Positions

SLTC Newsletter, August 2015

The Member Election Subcommittee of the SLTC is seeking nominations for new SLTC Members. Nominations should be submitted by filling out the web form at https://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsi/ieee_form.

New member candidates can be self-nominated or nominated by current SLTC members. Members will serve a term of three years. Past SLTC members are eligible to be nominated for a second term. Current SLTC members may also be nominated for a second consecutive term, but would then not be eligible to vote in this new member election. Additional terms are allowed after leaving the SLTC, but at least a 3-year gap in service is required.

New members must be willing to review papers that are submitted to the Society's conferences within the area of the SLTC, review papers for workshops owned or co-owned by the SLTC, serve in the subcommittees established by the SLTC, and perform other duties as assigned. SLTC members will be elected by the members of the SLTC itself based on the needs of the SLTC. The election results will be finalized by 15 November 2015.

The rights and duties of an SLTC member are described here: http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/technical-committees/list/sl-tc/

The following are nominee requirements:

1. The candidate must be a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
2. The candidate should be willing to serve if elected. This means active participation including prompt paper reviews for 4 ICASSPs (2016-2019), active participation in accomplishing SLTC sub-committee duties, and best efforts to attend meetings and responding appropriately to action items.

The nomination deadline is set as 17 September 2015.
