The SC provides leadership to the PODC community and serves to represent the community in the broader landscape, to interact and forge ties with related conferences and research venues, and to work with ACM on all relevant issues. The SC chair is elected at the PODC Business Meeting for a 3-year term at the conclusion of the term of the then current Chair. The SC chair provides overall leadership: leads the selection of locations and organizing chairs for future PODC; serves as the main point of contact for interactions and ties with other related conferences and workshops, with ACM, and other organizations; chairs Business Meetings and SC meetings. Note: I have assumed that ”general chair” in this application refers more aptly to PODC SC chair, rather than what PODC calls general chair, whose role is manage all aspects of conference logistics, provide organizational continuity from one conference to the next, guide the treasurer, and interact with industrial and other potential sponsors in helping secure support for the conference. The program committee (PC) chair is determined by the SC as follows. Any current SC Member can nominate the next PC Chair candidates to the SC (candidates cannot be current SC members); the candidates are then discussed within the SC. If there are more than two candidates at the conclusion of the discussion, the subset of the SC consisting of the most recent three PC chairs selects the 2 final list of two candidates. The next PC Chair is then elected by a majority vote of the SC (the elected PC Chair subsequently replaces the oldest serving PC Chair).
