TCCC may, upon request, decide to act as a in-cooperation sponsor of a conference or workshop organized by another entity within the IEEE. This type of sponsorship does not carry financial obligations for the TCCC. A co-sponsored conference may be announced as such on the TCCC web page.

The event to be sponsored should satisfy the following criteria:

• It should be of potential interest to TCCC members and fall within the scope of the TCCC.
• It is preferable that the event has a proven track record and reputation.
• It should have a well-organized reviewing structure following standard procedures of quality control and accountability (e.g., TPC with well-known members of the research community, multiple blind reviews). If in doubt, the event seeking sponsorship should be prepared to describe the technical program organization.

The TC chair recommends in-cooperation sponsorship to the Communication Society [whom in particular?] after a "no-objection" consultation with the other officers of the TC.
