IEEE Governance Structure
The IEEE VIS Governance Structure is described in the IEEE VIS Charter. This charter was written to unify the three V-I-S conferences: VAST, InfoVis, and SciVis in 2020. It replaced the IEEE VIS Executive Committee (VEC) Charter of 2015. It was guided by the VIS Restructuring reports delivered to the Phoenix and Berlin meetings, the reVISe committee Amended Recommendations (Area Model, Governance, Keywords, Transition Plan) of October 2019 (presented in Vancouver) and subsequent work by the reVISe committee, which has delivered a series of concrete proposals for an area model and governance structure for the new conference.
