Dear Colleagues and Friends,
 
As you enjoy your time in San Diego at AMCIS 2016, we hope that you are looking forward to AMCIS 2017 in Boston, MA, August 10th - 12th.  One quickly approaching deadline is the due date for Track Proposals - Wed., August 17, 2016. 
 
If you are interested in hosting a track at AMCIS 2017, please respond to this email by August 17th to express your interest. Please read the track chair responsibilities below and use the linked template (http://amcis2017.aisnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AMCIS-2017-Track-Proposal-Template.doc) to include your track name, description, 3-15 potential mini-tracks, and contact information for the track chairs. SIGs, Chapters, and Colleges are welcome to host individual and joint tracks, however, each track chair can only be the track chair of one AMCIS track. 

We look forward to seeing you at AMCIS in Boston in 2017!

Best wishes,

--------------------------------
Track Co-Chair Responsibilities - there should be two or three co-chairs for each track and one of the co-chairs should be designated as the primary contact person. The responsibilities of the co-chairs will be to:
 
1.        Liaise with the program chairs on all matters that concern AMCIS 2017.
2.        Promote the track and take sufficient measures to ensure an adequate number of mini tracks and submissions.
3.        Work with mini track chairs to manage the review cycle for the papers submitted to your track.
4.        Recommend to the program co-chairs those papers that may eventually be accepted for inclusion into the conference program.
5.        Nominate papers for the Best Paper Award.
6.        Personally (at least one of the track co-chairs should) attend AMCIS 2017 and serve as session chair in the proposed track session(s).
7.        Abstain from submitting to your own track.
8.        Structure of Track proposals: Please use the linked template (http://amcis2017.aisnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AMCIS-2017-Track-Proposal-Template.doc) for the track proposal.
