Announcement:Election of members for the Board of ISCA (4-year term: 2017-2021)The ISCA Board currently has 14 members from 10 countries (see the full list below). Members are elected to the Board for a period of four years and no member may serve on the Board for more than two consecutive terms. The following Board members will have served for two terms of four years in August 2017: Keikichi HIROSE, Haizhou LI, Douglas O?SHAUGHNESSY, and thus these three will leave the Board. In addition, Mark HASEGAWA-JOHNSON, Gérard BAILLY, Martin COOKE, Hynek HERMANSKY, and Kate KNILL will be ending their first term; Martin COOKE and Hynek HERMANSKY are not standing for re-election, while the other three will run for re-election. Thus we have openings for eight members for the 2017-2021 term.
In accordance with the ISCA by-laws, elections to the Board will take place in April 2017. We invite nominations from the ISCA membership. Each nomination requires the support of three members of the Association and agreement from the candidate (e.g., by email). The ISCA statutes specify a maximum of three Board members from any one country. Each ISCA member will be asked to cast a anonymous ballot in the election, via a survey website.
Members elected to the Board will be expected to be responsible for one or more of the areas listed below assigned by the Board, to commit time to furthering the work of ISCA in their area (s), to attend the Board meetings that take place at each annual INTERSPEECH conference and to participate in additional virtual meetings during the year (via teleconference). All candidates should be aware of these obligations and commit themselves to fulfilling them before agreeing to be nominated.
The Board will accept nominations either from proposers or self-nominations, as long as indication of support (three members of ISCA) is provided. Please send your nomination(s) to the ISCA Secretariat secretariat@isca-speech.org BEFORE March 1st, 2017 with the following information:
