In 2007, ISCA began its Fellow Program to recognize and honor outstanding
members who have made significant contributions to the field of speech
communication science and technology. To qualify for this distinction, a
candidate must have been an ISCA member for five years or more with a
minimum of ten years experience in the field. Nominations may be made by any
ISCA member (see Nomination Form). A Fellow may be recognized by their
outstanding technical contributions and/or continued significant service to
ISCA. The candidate's technical contribution should be summarized in the
nomination in terms of publications, patents, projects, prototypes and their
impact in the community.  A nomination should be supported by at least 3
references from ISCA Fellows/Board members.

 Fellows will be selected by a Fellow Selection Committee of nine members
who each serve three-year terms. Members of the Committee will be chosen
from ISCA Fellows by the ISCA Board.  Fellow Selection Committee members
will avoid writing references for fellow candidates. 

 The total number selected in any one year will not exceed one-third percent
of the total ISCA membership in that year. 

New ISCA Fellows will be announced each year at INTERSPEECH. 

 Nominations should be sent to: 'fellows_nomination [at] isca-speech.org' by
February 10.  Those who plan to nominate are strongly advised to write brief
information on candidates (candidate's name and affiliation) to the above
address before January 10 with your name and contacting e-mail address.
Re-send your e-mail when you do not receive an acknowledgement in a week.
