Call for Proposals for CVPR 2016

Call for Proposals for CVPR 2016. Please send proposals to rdz@cs.cornell.edu by May 15, 2013. The proposal should include the following information: date, city, site, hotel, and half the team details (general chairs, program chairs, local arrangements, and some of the other members in charge of the program). The team should contact the hotel/site to make sure the intended dates are indeed available. Some estimate of meeting space and lodging costs should be included. Please plan for over 1500 participants. Just for your information, the venues for the currently approved CVPRs are: CVPR 2013 (Portland Oregon), CVPR 2014 (Columbus, Ohio), CVPR 2015 (Boston, Massachusetts). For reference purposes, the following were the motions passed at past CVPRs: (i) Future major conference bids will be due at least one month before the PAMI-TC meeting where they will be voted upon. (ii) No bids, including floor bids, will be accepted after the due date. (iii) 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. (iv) If only one bid is received by due date, the conference committee has the discretion to put together an alternate bid. As a reminder, the PAMI-TC voted at CVPR-2009 & ICCV-2010 to adopt a policy that program chairs and general chairs of all major PAMI-TC conferences cannot submit papers to that conference the year in which they are chairing. We will have a PAMI-TC meeting at CVPR 2013. Time and venue will be announced at a later date, along with voting procedures. Under the recently adopted PAMI-TC charter, everyone attending CVPR is a PAMI-TC member and is eligible to vote. We expect to adopt some form of electronic voting to substantially increase community participation in the important process of selecting the next CVPR.
