All conferences and workshops that are sponsored by SIGPLAN and occur on a regular basis (every X years)
must be organized by a steering committee. The steering committee, working in partnership with the
SIGPLAN Executive Committee (EC), is responsible for the overall organization and financial plan of each
conference/workshop instantiation.
Responsibilities of the steering committee are:
- to appoint the conference/workshop chair and conference program chair,
after approval by the SIGPLAN chair and vice-chair.
- to provide help and guidance to the conference/workshop chair in the
site and date selection and the budget preparation as he/she works with
SIGPLAN's liasison at ACM. Also to provide help and guidance with
the overall technical organization of the conference/workshop.
- to request approval from the SIGPLAN chair and vice chair whenever a
major change is planned for the conference/workshop.
- to notify the SIGPLAN chair and vice chair when the membership
of the steering committee changes.
- to have a representative attend SIGPLAN Executive Committee meetings
when issues relevant to the conference are under consideration.

The steering committee operates under a set of rules,
which must be established by the initial steering committee and approved by SIGPLAN EC.
The rules must include the following:
- Composition of the steering committee. The composition includes the number of
members serving and the structure of the committee. For example, the steering
committee could be made up of the current and previous two conference/workshop organizers.
- Committee member rotation. How are committee members rotated on and off the steering
committee (e.g., how often, how many, and in what order).
- How the chair of the steering committee is determined.
- The schedule for the conference/workshop; that is how often and what time of the year.
