Distinguished Lecturer Selection Policies and Procedures
The following
are minimum qualifications for Distinguished Lecturers:
The Distinguished Lecturer must be a Senior Member of the
IEEE.
The Distinguished Lecturer must be a member of the IEEE Communications
Society.
The Distinguished Lecturer must agree to prepare a conference
tutorial if asked to do so. (Not all will be asked.)
The Chair
of the Selection Committee (TAC secretary) shall contact the
ComSoc Technical Committees in October of each year in order
to encourage nominations. Nominations will be submitted to
the Chair of the Selection Committee with a copy of the ComSoc
Vice President for Technical Activities.
The Chair
of the Selection Committee shall schedule a Committee meeting
in February of each year to select members.
Nominations
received outside of this period will be held until three nominations
are received, after which a meeting of the Committee will
be held to act upon these nominations.
Selection
Committee meetings will normally be conducted by phone or
email.
Nominations
Nominations
can be made in two ways:
An individual may nominate another person. The nominator must
be a member of ComSoc and a Senior Member of IEEE.
A person can receive the nomination of a ComSoc Technical
Committee.
The following
are suggested guidelines for use by the ComSoc Technical Committees
in the nomination of Distinguished Lecturers:
Is the candidate is a competent speaker as evidenced by previous
presentations?
Does the candidate speak to interesting topics in communications;
is the talk of a tutorial or R&D nature within the scope
of the sponsoring TC? Avoid outdated topics in communications,
material that is readily available from other sources, or
subjects too narrow to be of broad listener interest.
Each TC should provide no more than 4 candidate proposals,
including background support for the nomination, such as a
summary of experience, website, or curriculum vitae.
The term
of appointment as a Distinguished Lecturer is nominally two
years. A person can be appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer
more than once. At the discretion of the Committee, an appointment
as a Distinguished Lecturer can be continued for an additional
two-year term
