  24. CIS Awards (statistics) NOMINATION Histogram

  25. Proposed Changes for Nomination Process Awards Committee feels nominations are insufficient. Create under the VP for Tech Activities a Professional Advancement Committee. This committee will orchestrate and seek nominations from the CIS community and TCs for the awards. It will announce and receive all award nominations, check requirements, dialogue with nominators to achieve high quality nominations. Nomination for journals are easier. The Editorial Boards of all Transactions/Magazine should appoint one of its members as the “instigator” for outstanding paper nominations.

  26. CIS AWARDS Analysis: • CIS went from a large single awards committee to the other extreme of 14 sub and 1 “super committee” (~ 60 people) • Many members in several committees, and with elections every two years, this size is not supported by the community. • Enormous management overhead: Chair initiates the process and spends 90% of time setting things up, sending emails, not discussing the nominations • Nomination quality varies greatly (nobody checks them nor dialogues with nominator) • Not enough information in nominations (indicators need to be improved)

  27. CIS AWARDS- Proposed Changes Three types of awards: • Area Specific (Pioneers, v. prestigious) • CIS wide (NN+FS+EC) • Journal Awards Each should have a different organization

  28. CIS AWARDS- Proposed Changes Pioneer Award sub committees --- as is CIS Wide – a single sub committee will handle all the Awards. Create a Sub-committee chair. Chair of the subcommittee will coordinate communication and set up meetings. Awards Chair will conduct live meetings Journal Awards – Each EiC will handle the Awards, and coordinate communication and set up the meetings Award Chair will conduct live meetings

  29. Nomination/Award Process Changes The awards chair and committee realizes the need for a change in the award nomination process and award management to improve pool of candidates and efficacy. Motion: Endorse the need for a change in the nomination/award processes that would mitigate the issues discussed, and request from EXCOM action on this issue.
