• We sent recert materials to TAC in February
• Len Cimini (VP- Technical Activities): no major
issues with our TC;
ITC Meeting, June 2013

8. ITC Recertification
• Recommended by TCRC Recently:
– The Technical Committees Recertification
Committee (TCRC) supports recertifying the
Internet TC. This TC, a joint ComSoc/ISOC effort,
has been very active, especially in conferences.
The TCRC will make a formal recommendation to
the BoG at Globecom. There are some minor
issues that we suggest you address, if possible, in
the next couple of weeks.
ITC Meeting, June 2013
35
8. ITC Recertification
• WEBSITE
– The website is well-done, up-to-date, and provides a lot of
useful information for members.
• CHARTER/POLICIES & PROCEDURES
– No issues.
• STANDARDS/INDUSTRY
– No issues. The TCRC commends the TC on its level of
activity in standards.
• COLLABORATION
– No issues.
ITC Meeting, June 2013
36
8. ITC Recertification
• MEMBERSHIP
– The TCRC understands that meetings are held by
Internet, and so meeting participation is not an
active membership criterion. The TCRC suggests
that the TC could define other criteria for defining
“active membership” besides face-to-face meeting
participation. Please define criteria for an active
member, and provide a count of the active
members.
– Suggestions?
A proposition to be
done closely on the ML
ITC Meeting, June 2013
37
8. ITC Recertification
• CONFERENCES
– 1.) Please be aware that TCs do not sponsor conferences. ComSoc
sponsors these; the TCs endorse or organize. Please change the
wording where necessary (e.g., page 1 of the P&Ps).
DONE
– 2.) There is a form for applying as a volunteer for Publications and
Conferences. Please see http://www.comsoc.org/open-callvolunteers.
• PUBLICATIONS
– The TCRC recommends that the TC investigate opportunities for new
publications within the scope of the TC (possibly open access or
internet based).
– Suggestions?
Under consideration a possible journal
ITC Meeting, June 2013

8. ITC Recertification
• AWARDS
– 1.) The information on the best paper award on
the activities page appears to be incomplete.
Please provide as much information as possible.
DONE
– 2.) The TC should consider career and service
awards in addition to the best paper award.
WILL BE LAUNCHED IN 2014
• Suggestions?
ITC Meeting, June 2013
39
8. ITC Recertification
• OTHER
– 1.) Special Interest Groups are interesting, and could be a good
approach for attracting industry members. The TC should have a link
on the homepage to the SIG page.
PARTIALLY ALREADY ONE
– 2.) It would be useful to have a link on the Internet Society website
which recognizes the relationship to this TC. Please try to do this in
the near future.
ON GOING
– 3.) Potential technical issues for attention: the role of (Internet based)
social media in society, the role of the Internet in software defined
networks, and the role of Internet publications.
• Suggestions?
