PAMI TC Meeting ICCV 2013

In preparation for the PAMI-TC meeting to be held at ICCV 2013 on Tuesday, December 3rd, we submit to the community the following motions that will be voted upon. We will follow the same procedure as we used at CVPR 2013; the motions cannot be amended after being circulated, and there will be an electronic vote open to everyone attending ICCV. --- 1. ICCV17 bids * Paris (GC: Nikos Paragios, Xiaoou Tang, Ramin Zabih) (PC: David Fleet, Kyoung Mu Lee, Marc Pollefeys, Josef Sivic, Yair Weiss) http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/iccv-2017-paris.pdf * Venice (GC: Katsushi Ikeuchi, Gerard Medioni, Marcello Pelillo) (PC: Rita Cucchiara, Yasuyuki Matsushita, Nicu Sebe, Stefano Soatto) http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/ICCV2017-Bid-Venice.pdf Note that since the TC chair is a GC on the Paris bid, the discussion of these bids will be run by Walter Scheirer, the TC communication chair, who is also solely in charge of the electronic vote. --- 2. Allowing general chairs to submit ICCV papers under limited circumstances (Proposed by: Andrew Zisserman) MOTION: General chairs are permitted to submit papers to ICCV, but only if the program chairs guarantee that the general chairs will have the exact same access and software privileges regarding the reviewing process that are available to every author. --- 3. Revised PAMI TC Bylaws and New ICCV Charter (Proposed by: Ramin Zabih) The PAMI TC currently operates under an antiquated set of bylaws, and while there is a charter for CVPR there is no charter for ICCV. A new set of bylaws and charter have been drafted by the TC chair and approved by the TC conference committee and the previous 5 TC chairs. The issues are summarized in this FAQ: http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/FAQ.bylaws-and-charter.txt The proposed bylaws and charter are here: http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/TCPAMI-new-bylaws.final.pdf http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/ICCV_charter_+2013.final.pdf For context, the current bylaws are available here: http://www.cv-foundation.org/ICCV2013/TCPAMI-bylaws.current.pdf MOTION: The revised TC bylaws and new ICCV charter are hereby adopted.
