3.2. Conference Officers

The W4A conference in a given year is the responsibility of the General Chair (GC). The GC's responsibilities are as specified elsewhere document, in addition to those specified in these bylaws. If 2.5 is not to be followed, the SC approves and appoints the General Chair and Program Chairs, otherwise they approve and appoint the special issue chair for each conference by two-thirds vote (to make sure that a Chair with the highest qualification is chosen) of the SC. The GC may expect the SC's advice and support in every aspect of conference organisation. The PC Chairs, in consultation with the GC, appoint the program committee members.
