and it is led by Dr. Yi Qian. By the announced candidate nomination deadline, November 25, 2015, the nominations for the candidates for each of the positions of the CISTC officers have been received. After an online discussion among the CISTC 2015 N&E Committee, and the candidates’ eligibility checking, the following list has been arranged:

As there were no comments or objection from the audience, every candidate introduced himself along with his election statement, except for Abderrahim Benslimane, who unfortunately has been not able to attend due to an emergency. Instead, Dr. Yi Qian presented Dr. Benslimane’s CV and as well his election statement.
Before starting the election, Dr. Yi Qian highlighted that the current Vice Chair for Conferences of CISTC, Dr. Kejie Lu, decided not to run for the CISTC Chair position, due to personal reasons, and expressed his gratitude for the service he spent CIS-TC as a Secretary, Vice Chair for Publications, and Vice Chair for Conferences. Afterwards, all candidates were asked to leave the room, where the election was held.

5. CIS-TC Outstanding Service Award
The Award Chair, Dr. Peter Mueller gave an update on CIS-TC Service Award. He explained the nomination policy and process, which can be found on CIS-TC website:
http://cms.comsoc.org/SiteGen/Uploads/Public/Docs_TC_CIS/CISTC_Outstanding_Service_Award.pdf
In particular, all CIS-TC members could send nominations must to the CISTC Secretary by September 1 of the year in which the award is to be given. A CIS-TC Technical Recognition Award Selection Committee chaired by a past CISTC chair and composed of the current CISTC officers (Chair, Vice-Chair(s), and Secretary) plus one additional CIS-TC member nominated by the Award Selection Committee Chair evaluated these nominations. The Committee has decided not to give this award this year since we do not have a suitable candidate.
6. Reports on Conferences
Dr. Kejie Lu, the TC Vice-Chair for Conference, gave an overview on conference activities in CIS-TC. He introduced the CIS-TC organized Symposia in CNS’15, Globecom’15, ICC’16, Globecom’16 and ICC’17. Then, he presented the CIS-TC endorsed Conferences.
The detailed information about the conferences that have been organized during the foregoing year can be found in Appendix II. Also, detailed information about CIS-TC endorsed conferences can also be found in Appendix II.
7. Reports on Publications
Dr. Xiaodong Lin, the TC Vice-Chair for Publications, presented a report on the publication activities supported by the committee. He presented books and journal special issues, which have been contributed by our TC members; in particular he encouraged the paper submission from the community to these upcoming journal special issues whose submission deadlines haven't passed yet. For example, Dr. Yi Qian is preparing an IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on “Security for 5G Wireless Systems”, which is a good opportunity to share research in 5G, an emerging topic.
Also, Dr. Xiaodong Lin pointed out some publication options, suggested by TC member, Tim Weil, particularly on Security for Automotive Networks, which represents an attractive topic for Communications and Tutorials articles.
Dr. Sushmita Ruj suggested to have periodic updates on journal special issues, for example, circulating these CFPs in mailing list, which can be beneficial for the community.
In the Appendix III the complete list of books and special issues are detailed.
8. Standards liaison
Dr. Yi Qian, on behalf of the CIS-TC representative for IEEE ComSoc Standards Board, Dr. Neeli R. Prasad, provided a brief verbal summary of standard activities and suggested a deeper involvement of the ComSoc Standardization Program Development Board (CSPDB) Organization and more contributions.
