Proposing a new IEEE RAS Technical Committee
It is not difficult to establish a new RAS Technical Committee. The
key is showing that the proposed topic area is growing, relevant,
sufficiently outside the scope of existing TCs, and identifying a very
enthusiastic team of Co-Chairs to lead and sustain the group. The
first step is to submit an application with the information below to
the VPTA. This is then reviewed and brought before the TAB and the
Adcomm at the next semi-annual meeting (usually in April and October).
Note: please be sure to carefully read the Duties of TC Co-Chairs and confirm
that you and your co-Chairs are willing to accept the Duties for at
least 3 years.
