2-3 | Membership validity dates Dear members of ISCA,
All voters in the upcoming election for the ISCA Board must be active members in 2013.
Please note that a 'yearly renewal' at ISCA does not actually give a 12-month term.
To simplify administration, the ISCA Board decided in 2002 to have all memberships
end either on June 30 or Dec. 31, which means that any given renewal lasts a variable
duration (8-14 months) depending on when the renewal occurs; see:
http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/membership/251
All those who paid their fees via registration at Interspeech-2012 are active ISCA
members till June 30, 2013. However, those who paid a yearly renewal early in 2012
must renew for 2013 to render their account active. We invite you to verify your status:
http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/iscamember/list
With your member number XXXX, you can retrieve a forgotten password:

We hope you will be participating in this year's election, which is expected to start
next week and end on April 30th. All ISCA members will get an invitation email to vote.
Best regards,
Douglas O'Shaughnessy ISCA Secretary
