Larry Greenstein

Candidate's Statement

I greatly value the publications, conferences, and workshops of the Communications Society, but I also strongly suspect they can be improved in efficiency, timeliness and quality. Why, for example, has the review time for papers increased dramatically, despite the benefits of electronic communications? More generally, what are the various ways in which members feel less than satisfied with these central Society functions? I pledge, if elected to the Board of Governors, to help determine how well the needs and desires of members are being served, and to take steps to improve the value to them of Communications Society membership.
