SLTC 2020 Call for Nominations

IEEE SPS Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee Nominations 2020

The Member Election Subcommittee of the SLTC is seeking nominations for new SLTC Members for a 3-year term (2021-2023). Nominations should be submitted by filling out the web form at https://forms.gle/RLJNkCny1ZfzmKRH6. The nomination deadline is October 20th, 2020.

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.

Each nominee must also submit a one-page position statement and/or vitae.

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 November 9, 2020.

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 (2021-2024), active participation in accomplishing SLTC sub-committee duties, and best efforts to attend meetings and responding appropriately to action items. While the formal term is 2021-2023, because of the timing of the ICASSP review cycle, ICASSP review duties will begin almost immediately upon election prior to the term (November-December 2020) and conclude after the formal term (January-February 2024).
