At the ComSoc BoG meeting in Seoul (ICC 2005) the committee led by Roberto de Marca presented its
findings and recommendations, including a split of GICC into two separate committees named GIMS and
GITC.  The main objective was to improve the infrastructure for the continuous evolution of GC and ICC as
the "oversight" committees of its flagship events.

GIMS:  GLOBECOM/ICC Management and Strategy Committee
The objective of the GIMS committee is to oversee the operational preparation and management and do
strategic planning of these two annual technical conferences on telecommunications research, technology
