Membership meeting Wednesday May 2 2018, Tel Aviv, Israel (Supporting slides are available on the IACR website.) President Christian Cachin opened the meeting at 16h30, giving a brief overview of the IACR, its conference/workshops, etc. Treasurer Brian LaMacchia gave a report summarizing the IACR's finances for 2017. He highlighted the fact that the IACR has a robust financial position. With just under one year of transactions via Stripe we have saved over USD 21,000 in credit card processing fees. The treasurer did recommend to not change the current IACR membership fee. LaMacchia explained there will be a price change for the paper version of the IACR Journal of Cryptology. Effective immediately, the cost of the paper version is increased to USD 40 per year (from USD 20 per year). The IACR will adjust in the future to maintain cost-neutral to the IACR. There is a question how the IACR plans to control the registration fees of conferences like Eurocrypt since the price seems to be increasing over the last couple of years. LaMacchia explains that the goal is to be cover all expenses and not make money. The cost for a conference depends heavily on the location. Before the IACR accepts a proposal we have a look at the expected costs and indeed the previous Eurocrypt venues were at more expensive locations. It is expected that the upcoming Eurocrypt registration fees will go down again. Cachin thanked LaMacchia for his continued hard work. Membership Secretary Douglas Stebila gave a report and showed that membership has slightly increased from last year. He highlighted that due to the Real World Crypto Symposium held earlier this year we have seen a significant number of new IACR members who were never a member before: 373. So we expect an increase in our members next year. There is a question about the rules for senior membership: does one need to fulfill both requirements or one of the two. Stebila explains both requirements (age and years of membership) need to be fulfilled. Cachin thanked Stebila for his continued hard work. Cachin continued by giving an overview of the online services offered by the IACR, the cryptography research fund for students, and video recordings of presentations. He reminded the members that the recording and publication of video and presentation occurs by default (with exceptions possible) since 2016. Cachin discussed the current topics and started with explaining the established uniform Conflict-of-Interest policy. There is also a committee working on a proposal for a new Test-of-time Awards for Eurocrypt, Crypto, Asiacrypt. There is a task force focusing on diversity and the presidents asks for volunteers to help out, Stebila and Rabin can be contacted. Next, Cachin opened the floor for discussion. There is a question related to the day pass option which was available this Eurocrypt. Will this become a new default option for the IACR for the other venues? Dunkelman explains that due to the increased interest for BlockChain this was organized last-minute to accommodate these requests. The President adds that not all events are the same and this was a first time this was done. In the future we hope to increase attendance by co-locating more events around our flagship events. Rabin provides more details for the upcoming Crypto 2018. There are seven affiliated events planned in the three preceding days of Crypto. The student speaker waivers are currently online which now also covers post-docs. There is a question about the exact dates of these affiliated events. Although these affiliated workshops are a good things, there is an overlap on the Friday before Crypto with the Conference on Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC 2018). In the future it would be best to keep the Friday before Crypto free. Rabin explains that originally the plan was to only have events on the Saturday and Sunday but due to the increased number of affiliated events this was not possible anymore. She agrees that a better planning is needed in the future. The meeting was closed at 17h13.
