We would like to see that the board has representatives for different continents, countries, FSM schools and other interests felt in the field. Obviously, this goal is not yet fully achieved. Please help improve the representativeness of the board!
SIGFSM Business Meetings
An official Business Meeting is needed when we have higly controversial or constitutional matters to be discussed. The dates of these meetings are separately announced to the SIGFSM members by email or in the home page of an endorsed workshop or conference.
- A SIGFSM Business Meeting: in FSMNLP 2009, Pretoria, South Africa, July 2009.
- A SIGFSM Business Meeting: in FSMNLP 2011, Blois, France, July 2011.
Unofficial Business Meetings in Conjunction with the Events
In addition to the official Business Meetings, the endorsed workshops and conferences may organize with its attendants unofficial business meetings that are needed to collect feedback, wishes and help the organizers of the forthcoming scientific meetings.
- An unofficial Business Beeting: in FSMNLP 2012, Donostia-San Sebastian, in July 2012.
