| 2-1 | A message from our President Haizhou Li Dear Members,
Welcome to the December edition of ISCApad! In this edition, Kate Knill reminded me to bring to your attention the nomination of ISCA Fellows 2016.
I am glad to announce that ISCA Board has appointed the Fellow Selection Committee, chaired by Li Deng, with the following members, Jerome Bellegarda, Pascale Fung , Daniel Hirst, Chin-Hui Lee, Bruce Millar, Hermann Ney, Keiichi Tokuda, and Jacqueline Vaissiere. Kate Knill from ISCA Board will coordinate the selection process.
Since its introduction in 2007, ISCA's Fellows Program has recognised and honoured 51 outstanding members who have made significant contributions to the field of speech communication science and technology. Nominations are now open for the 2016 ISCA Fellows which will be presented at Interspeech 2016 in San Francisco. Any ISCA member can make a nomination.
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. A Fellow may be recognised by their outstanding technical contributions and/or continued significant service to ISCA. The supporting case for the candidate's nomination should include up to 3 major contributions which have had impact on the speech community and/or society in general. A nomination should be supported by 4 references from ISCA Fellows and/or Board Members. Current ISCA Board members are not eligible for nomination. 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.
Finally, I wish you a very merry festive season and a Happy New Year!
Haizhou Li - ISCA President

| 2-3 | Grants for students ISCA wants to support and encourage students and young researchers by providing grants for attending conferences, and by recognizing good research. At each INTERSPEECH, an ISCA award is given to the 3 best student papers presented at the conference, based on anonymous review of the papers and the presentation at the conference. ISCA also financially supports students and young scientists by providing a limited number of grants for young authors with accepted papers at INTERSPEECH and ISCA supported workshops. The ISCA board member responsible for Grants and Awards is Torbjørn Svendsen.
