The IEEE Communications Society’s Radio Communications Committee (RCC) is primarily interested in physicallayer wireless communications. Its areas of interest include engineering aspects of communication andlocalization systems, equipment, and operation with involvement in standardization, spectrum, andregulatory efforts. Technologies considered span point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint,mobile radio access, and adaptive diversity systems. The RCC sponsors and promotes technical publications,conferences, symposia, workshops, tutorials, and other related activities on the aforementioned aspects. Thecommittee also assumes the proactive duty to nominate suitable candidates for Communications Society andIEEE awards, propose distinguished lecturer candidates, and endorse deserving candidates for the election toIEEE Senior Member and Fellow grade.

Radio Communications Committee (RCC)

IEEE Communication Society Technical Committee

Policies and Procedures (P&P)

(Version 9, RCC meeting held in Kansas City, USA, May 23, ICC 2018)

1) Membership RequirementsAnybody can be a member of the Radio Communications Committee (RCC, it is noted that in the text followed we shall use TC in short to represent the RCC). To become a member it is necessary to subscribe to the TC mailing list as specified on the TC Web page. A member becomes an Active Member if he/she has attended (physically present or by teleconference) two or more of the prior five regular scheduled TC meetings or has provided significant service to the TC defined as follows: served as past Officer of the TC; served as TC representative for IEEE Communications Society’s flagship conferences (ICC and Globecom); and have been recipient of this TC award. The TC Secretary shall maintain both an attendance list for each of such meetings and a list of Active Members. All meetings of the TC are open.

3) Nomination and Election Policies and Procedures

Voting: TC elections shall be administered by the TC Chair, or in his/her absence, any other elected officer. To vote, one must be an Active Member of the TC and must be present at the TC meeting. In the case of two candidates for a position, election is by simple majority. For the case of more than two candidates, selection proceeds through a series of elections: at each stage, the individual garnering the fewest votes is eliminated, until only two remain. In the event of a tie, votes shall again be cast until the tie is broken. If that is not possible, the TC person who is running the election shallcast a tie-breaking vote. Voting will be conducted through a simple show of hands unless a secrete ballot is requested. Votes will be counted by at least one officer of the TC and any other member (officer or not). A record of votes cast must be retained for post-election audit purposes.
