Bylaws and Policies/Procedures

Bylaws need to provide an overall operating structure.

• Bylaws serve as a constitution
• High-level framework
• Stable; slow to change

Policies/Procedures guide day-to-day operations

• A range of policies and procedures have evolved over the years.
• The Board is working to publicize these through posting on http://www.sigcse.org.
• A number of these have been posted for some time; more are forthcomng.

Timing

Finally, after about 5 years, SIGCSE has been able to develop a revision that has gone through the various ACM levels.

• We have a coherrent, reorganized proposal that conforms to current practice.
• We have an opportunity for discussion at SIGCSE 2009!
• BUT we still do not have posted bylaws.

The currently in-progress proposal to the membership allows us to go forward.
