ACM MIR Steering Committee

The ACM MIR steering committee was created in 2003 to be the primary advisory board on the direction and growth of the MIR community and select the chairs who will lead the MIR meetings. The steering committee members are intended to be

(1) Internationally prominent in the MIR field
(2) Committed to serving and improving the MIR meetings and community
(3) Responsive to voting on MIR decisions.
(4) Past general chairs of the ACM MIR meeting

All decisions by the committee are governed by majority vote. In the case of a tie, the chair casts the deciding vote. After a MIR scientific meeting has ended, the steering committee will extend an invitation to the general chairs to join. The term of membership is 4 years from the last time the member was a general chair of MIR. If MIR is not held 4 years later then the term is extended until the next MIR. For example, if the last time a member was a MIR general chair was in 2020, then he would be a member until and including the day before the MIR meeting of 2024. If there is not a MIR meeting in 2024 then his term expires on the day before the next MIR meeting. If there are 3 or more general chairs, only 2 will be invited to join the steering committee. When the term of a member ends or in the situation where a member has been unresponsive for a complete year, he is moved to the Alumni/Inactive section.
