New SIGCHI bylaws

Abstract

It has been many years since we started hearing about possible changes in SIGCHI bylaws, as a way to update them and reflect the current needs of the organization. Now the new set of bylaws has been approved by SIGCHI Executive Committee (EC) and is in the process of being approved by ACM, before it can be voted on by our members. In this column I would like to take the opportunity to explain what are the proposed changes for SIGCHI Chapters and some of the issues we should discuss and decide upon at our annual workshop at CHI 2003.
