For the Period: July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016 1.Basic InformationThe ACM U.S. Public Policy Council (USACM) is chartered as the focal point for ACM's interaction with U.S. government organizations, the computing community, and the U.S. public in all matters of U.S. public policy related to information technology and computing – except education and workforce issues, which are the responsibility of the ACM Education Policy Committee. USACM is authorized to take policy positions and has a systematic process for the development, review, and approval of such policy positions. These positions reflect the position of USACM and not necessarily that of ACM. 1.1LeadershipUSACM is governed by the USACM Council, which includes a Chair, Vice Chair, an Executive Committee, two SIG Governing Board representatives, six At Large members, former chairs of USACM, and ex officio members. The ACM President appoints the USACM Chair for a term of two years, beginning July 1 in even-numbered years. The ACM President may appoint Co Chairs. The USACM Chair, in consultation with the ACM President, appoints the Vice Chair or Co-Vice Chairs. The USACM Executive Committee is composed of the Chair, Vice Chair, Immediate Past Chair, the SIG Board representative with the longest tenure in USACM, four additional USACM Council members selected by the Chair, and ex officio members.

USACM Recognition of USACM Chair Eugene Spafford for His Leadership At its meeting in March 2016, the USACM Council recognized Eugene "Spaf" Spafford for his 18 years of dedication and service as Chair of USACM and its predecessor, the ACM U.S. Public Policy Committee, and 20 years as a USACM member. Through the years, Spaf provided leadership, vision, and motivating energy for USACM. Under his guidance, USACM grew its positive image as an authoritative resource for policy leaders and achieved several positive impacts on public policies through its work with the White House, Congress, and the federal agencies. The Council gave Spaf a standing ovation in appreciation for his service.
