Call for Nominations - Editor-In-Chief ACM (TOIS)

Call For Nominations Editor-In-Chief ACM Transactions On Information 
Systems (TOIS)

The term of the current editor-in-chief (EIC) of TOIS 
(<http://www.acm.org/tois/>http://www.acm.org/tois/) is coming to an 
end, and the ACM Publications Board has set up a nominating committee 
to assist the Board in selecting the next EIC.

Nominations, including self nominations, are invited for a three-year 
term as TOIS EIC, beginning as soon as the position can be filled. 
The EIC appointment may be renewed once, after review. This is an 
entirely voluntary position, but ACM will provide appropriate 
administrative support.

The EIC is responsible for maintaining the highest editorial quality, 
for setting technical direction of the papers published in TOIS, and 
for maintaining a reasonable pipeline of articles for publication. 
He/she has final say on acceptance of papers, size of the Editorial 
Board, and appointment of Associate Editors. The EIC is expected to 
adhere to the commitments expressed in the ACM Publishing Rights and 
Responsibilities Policy 
(<http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html>http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html). 
For more information about the role of the EIC, see 
(<http://www.acm.org/pubs/editors_manual.html>http://www.acm.org/pubs/editors_manual.html). 


Nominations should include a c.v. of the nominee, as well as a brief 
statement of why the nominee should be considered. Self-nominations 
are encouraged. The deadline for submitting nominations is the 4th of 
May, 2008, but nominations will be accepted until the position is filled.
