http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tcpami)
3.	PAMI-TC budget for 2011

7.	ICCV endorsement of the following motion that was passed at CVPR 2010.

“Future major conference bids will be due at least one month before
the PAMI-TC meeting where they will be voted upon. No bids, including
floor bids, will be accepted after the due date. If no bids are
received by due date, the PAMI-TC Conference Committee will constitute
a bid that will be voted upon at the TC meeting. If only one bid is
received by due date, the conference committee has the discretion to
put together an alternate bid.”

8.	Permission to expand TC Conference Committee: The current size of
the conference committee is six, which was okay when we were about
half the size we are now. Past year has placed great demands on their
times and they have also stepped up to lead future conferences. We
need a larger team. Also, the demographics of computer vision
researchers have changed significantly in the past decade to include
more international dimension.

Motion: The PAMI-TC Conference committee is increased from six members
to twelve members to include more international representation and
gender diversity. These members should be chosen from willing General
Chairs from past or future approved ICCV or CVPR conferences.

9.	We have drafts of the charters for ICCV and CVPR from 2001 that
were never updated, nor were they put up for voting. The charters are
at

We will NOT be voting on the existing charters at this time, but start
the process of revising it. We have seen many issues arise in the past
year that could have been easily solved if only we had a charter for
these major conferences.

Motion: The PAMI-TC Conference Committee is charged with creating a
revised draft for the CVPR and ICCV charters to be presented at the
CVPR-2011 and ICCV-2013 meetings for voting.

10.	The following motion was adopted at the meeting at CVPR 2011. It
needs to be approved for ICCV too.

“For each CVPR and ICCV, the general chairs shall present a brief
financial summary at the PAMI-TC meeting. The summary shall specify
how much income is generated for each financial sponsor, on an
absolute and per-attendee basis, and what the financial sponsors
provide to justify this income. Conference proposals will provide
approximate numbers, with an update presented the year before the
meeting and the year of the meeting, and with final numbers due a year
after the meeting.”

11.	Report from Sponsorship Ad-Hoc committee. The report is available
at http://tinyurl.com/PAMI-TC-ICCV-2011

At the PAMI-TC meeting at CVPR 2011, a committee was asked to produce
an analysis of the costs and benefits of future relations between the
computer vision community at CVPR and the IEEE computer society. The
TPAMI-TC vote clearly intended this analysis to be relevant to ICCV as
well. The charge to the committee read:

“The PAMI-TC hereby appoints a committee to investigate sponsorship
options for CVPR, ICCV and TPAMI, and to provide a cost/benefit
analysis of all viable alternatives. The committee will distribute
their report by email to all PAMI-TC members.”

The committee was explicitly not tasked to make recommendations.
Members of this committee were: D. Forsyth (chair), T. Boult, R.
Chellappa, D. Huttenlocher, D. Kriegman, Y. LeCun, S. Sarkar, L.
Shapiro, Y. Weiss, R. Zabih.

Motion: The PAMI-TC, at the ICCV 2011 meeting, endorses the report of
the Sponsorship Committee created at CVPR 2011.

Depending on the outcome of the above motion, there might be following
motions about adopting one of the options discussed in the report.

12.	New Business

13.	Meeting adjourned at 10pm
