Criterion

The recognition award is given to (up to) one individual or group who are deemed to have made outstanding technical contributions to TCCN. The basis of judgment will be archival, peer­-reviewed publications in ComSoc conferences and journals over any period prior to the award cycle.

TC Chair, Vice‐chairs, Secretary, award committee members as well as any sitting ComSoc officer (President and VPs) cannot nominate and/or endorse candidates for the award.
