  2. Task Force 1: Working Group, Conferences(coordinated by Stacie Petter) KEY ISSUE: Use ScholarOne or bepress for ICIS 2013? This group has provided frequent updates and worked hard to address issues and concerns for the bepress transition for AIS conferences. • Believes bepress will be ready for AMCIS 2013 but has identified many issues which may impact transition in ICIS 2013. • One tentative suggestion from the working group is that ScholarOne continue to be used for ICIS 2013. • Delaying transition until ICIS 2014 comes with significant cost consequences for AIS. • Moving forward with bepress will maintain consistency and finalize the transition to bepress across all conferences and journals this year. • Decision must be made by December 31, 2012 regarding the status of hosting ICIS 2013 on bepress.

  3. Task Force 1: Working Group, Journals(coordinated by Matti Rossi) KEY ISSUE: Use ScholarOne for JAIS (and/or other journals) for 2013? • Group is making progress on the detailed plan for the transition. • CAIS transition is being tested in early December. • Task force recommends moving JAIS to bepress in Spring 2013 but managing old manuscripts in ScholarOne .

Task Forces 2 & 4: Marketing & Pricing(Marketing led by Deepak Khazanchi; Pricing led by Matt Nelson) KEY ISSUE: Merge Pricing and Marketing task forces into two working groups under one coordinator? • Marketing group has completed a detailed SWOT analysis for conferences, publications, SIGS/chapters, Membership, and student chapters. • The group is now collecting data from university librarians regarding marketing and pricing strategies. • Pricing group is relying on output form Task Force 2: Marketing regarding marketing and pricing strategies and thus has no specific updates.

  5. Task Force 3: Copy Editing(led by Ilze Zigurs) KEY ISSUE: Hiring of copy/publication editor(s) and sales agent(s) and setting editing guidelines • Group has completed its work of creating job descriptions for AIS copy editor and AIS publications editor. • The group recommends that once the copy/publishing editor is selected that s/he lead a group in developing AIS editing guidelines and developing processes for the transition all copy editing to the AIS copy editor. .

  6. Task Force 5: Social Media(led by Jeff George) KEY ISSUE: No guidelines exist for AIS social media • Group has identified social media practices of other professional associations (AoM, INFORMS, ACM, IEEE, etc). In general, they find little social media integration from these journals to their social sites. • The task force has some concern about how to effectively integrate AIS social media with existing platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. • Need to prepare AIS social media guidelines.

  7. Set New Deliverable Dates • OVERALL, the five task forces have made some progress in completing most of the assigned tasks. However, milestones previously agreed to are being missed and updated milestones must be set and agreed upon.
