Technical Standards Committee
Purpose
The Technical Standards Commitee (TSC) was established by the ACM Special Interest Group (SIG)Board
in July 1992
as a result of restructuring the volunteer management of
the ACM.
The mission of the Committee is
to coordinate all official ACM participation in standards-related
activities. This shall include designation of ACM
memberships and liaisons in standards-related organizations;
and development of policy and procedures for ACM
participation in standards-related activities.
The committee is also charged with
encouraging and coordinating individual SIG standards-related
activities, and promoting the dissemination and understanding of
standards-related information to ACM members.
Members
Members of the TSC are appointed for two-year terms,
with half of the members appointed each year. Members are recommended
by one or more SIGs (Special Interest Groups) and the chair of the TSC, and are appointed by the
SIG Board Chair.
