Dear ICTD friends, We invite you to volunteer to serve on our Program Committee for ICTD 2019 (to be held January 4th-7th in Ahmedabad, India). If selected (based on the spots we have open at present), we will rely on your expertise to ensure that the submissions selected for publication are high quality and guarantee an inclusive, impactful, and interdisciplinarily rich conference. **Please fill out this very short form, if interested: https://goo.gl/for ms/bM8vkOjmANpnEfMk1.** Below, we offer (1) a quick introduction to ICTD 2019, (2) important dates for reviewing, and (3) a description of what makes an ICTD Paper/Poster. *What is ICTD 2019?*Held in cooperation with ACM SIGCAS, ICTD 2019 will provide an international forum for scholarly researchers to explore the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in social, political, and economic development. The ICTD conferences have been taking place every 12-18 months since 2006. The first ICTD conference was organized in 2006 at UC Berkeley and the conference has since been hosted in Bangalore (2007), Doha (2009), London (2010), Atlanta (2012), Cape Town (2013), Singapore (2015), Ann Arbor (2016), and Lahore (2017). The ICTD community is methodologically and conceptually diverse, including, for example, anthropologists who study how underserved individuals and communities engage with technology, computer scientists who design novel technological interventions to target development outcomes, data scientists who examine human-centered aspects of big data, political scientists looking at how national and state governments implement ICTD projects, economists who evaluate the developmental impact of such projects, and practitioners who implement them on the ground. *What does the ICTD 2019 review process entail?*As a member of the ICTD 2019 Program Committee, you can expect to complete reviews no more than five Papers and three Posters (we hope). Reviewing will take place between July 22nd and August 22nd (approximately). You will not be required to participate in a PC meeting or conduct any meta-reviews. *What is an ICTD Paper?*An ICTD Paper, 7-10 pages in the ACM two-column format (excluding references, but including figures and tables), must make a new research contribution and provide complete and substantial support for its results and conclusions. Accepted Papers will be presented orally at the conference and archived in the ACM Digital Library (unless otherwise requested by authors). Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of novelty of the research contribution, significance of the contribution to ICTD, validity of method, rigor of analysis, and clarity of presentation. *What is an ICTD Poster?*An ICTD Poster, up to 4 pages in the ACM two-column format (excluding references, but including figures and tables), can report on practitioner projects, research work in progress, dissertation progress, and other content that would enrich the conference. A complete research contribution is not mandatory. Posters will be reviewed in the same timeline as (but differently than) Full Papers. Accepted Posters will be presented as posters at the conference and archived in the ACM Digital Library (unless otherwise requested by authors). Submissions will be lightly reviewed, but required to meet most of the criteria mentioned above for Papers. The deadline to fill out this form is **Friday, June 1, 2018**. Should you require any clarifications, please contact us at prog...@ictdx.org. For more information on the conference, people involved, and/or the Call for Papers, please visit our website at www.ictdx.org, which we will continue to update as more details become available. If you are connected on social media, please follow our updates on Twitter @ictdx and here on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/ictdx). Warm regards, Neha Kumar & Rajesh Veeraraghavan Program Chairs, ICTD 2019 _______________________________________________ TIER mailing list Website: http://tier.cs.berkeley.edu t...@tier.cs.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tier
