  19. Origins • Original motivation • Open access movement and the challenges/threats posed to the ACM publishing program (and business) • Getting in front of publishing trends • But there are major challenges to multiple dimensions of ACM • Membership • Technical communities (SIGs) and conferences • Publishing/DL • The models that underpin all of the above

  20. Structure • Question to be answered: • How must ACM restructure its portfolio of core activities, and the business models that support them, to stay relevant and viable in the future? • Approach: • Unpack and understand the core activities and business model(s) surrounding: Membership; Conferences; Publications • Understand the challenges and forces at play for each area and related model • Assess the strengths/weaknesses of each model relative to emerging challenges and risks • Explore new thinking for a very interconnected set of (current and future) core activities and the business models to underpin them

  21. Participants • Extended EC: • Vint Cerf, Alex Wolf, Vicki Hansen, Erik Altman, Alain Chesnais, Ron Boisvert, Jack Davidson, Joe Konstan • Key Volunteers: • Wendy Hall, Moshe Vardi, Salil Vadhan, Stu Feldman • ACM Staff: • John White, Pat Ryan, Bernie Rous, Scott Delman, Wayne Graves, Donna Cappo, Russell Harris, Darren Ramdin
