ICAPS is incorporated as a public benefit corporation in California (USA). It is governed by its Articles of Incorporation and its Bylaws (Amendments). The ICAPS Executive Council ensures the continuity of the ICAPS conference series. It ensures the orderly running of the current ICAPS conference, reviews proposals to organize the next ICAPS conferences, checks on financial arrangements, and decides on its venue. It can be reached via the ICAPS Council Google Group.
All members of the executive council were conference or program chairs of prior ICAPS conferences, and the council elects every year two new members from the organizers that year (and earlier conferences if there are not enough candidates).
The details of the election process of new members and officers are determined by the election rules.
