Membership

IFIP Working Group 11.9 has two categories of membership:

Members are expected to be qualified researchers and/or educators in digital forensics. Members are nominated by the Working Group Chair, and membership is subject to IFIP approval. Active participation in the Working Group is expected; at a minimum, presenting or co-authoring a paper, taking an active role in the organization of a conference, or attending a conference at least once every three years. A three-year period of inactivity is taken to indicate that a member is no longer interested in the technical area.

Observers are expected to be qualified researchers and/or educators in digital forensics. Observers are nominated by the Working Group Chair, and observer status is subject to IFIP approval. Individuals attending Working Group conferences will be offered observer status. Observers who do not attend at least one conference every three years will lose their status. A three-year period of inactivity is taken to indicate that an observer is no longer interested in the technical area.
