Commencing 3 January 2005, the following new procedures are in place for all events seeking ComSoc financial sponsorship, financial co-sponsorship, or technical co-sponsorship. The Conference Information Schedule (CIS Sponsorship Application Form) is simultaneously being updated to reflect these changes.

* Management for the event initiates the process by e-mailing a completed Conference Information Schedule (CIS Sponsorship Application Form) to the ComSoc e-mail address designated in the form.

* ComSoc will then evaluate the proposal and notify event management of acceptance or rejection.

* Upon acceptance, an individual with authority to make commitments for the event in question must sign the form, which must be transmitted (mailed, FAXed, or scanned and e-mailed) to ComSoc at the address specified in the form. Where a non-IEEE or non-Sister Society financially sponsored event is accepted for ComSoc non-financial technical co-sponsorship, a general administrative fee of $350 is due at this time.

* No event may claim IEEE sponsorship, nor use IEEE or ComSoc logos, until ComSoc staff have affirmatively acknowledged (a) receipt of a signed copy of the application, (b) approval of the application by an authorized ComSoc representative, and (c) receipt of any fees that may be due.
