Computing resources are critical to the administrative, educational, and research functions of CSE. As many of these resources are centralized or otherwise shared, and because the actions of one may affect all, the fair and competent management of these resources is essential.

The Computing Committee (CompCom) sets CSE computing policy, especially as regards the use of shared resources, such as CSE computing staff (CSEHelp) and computing infrastructure. CompCom also rules on policy exceptions and matters of interpretation. As an organization, CSEHelp's role is to implement these policies. CompCom will require reporting from CSEHelp on how policies are being implemented, how they are working, and may direct how they are implemented.

Computing situations believed to be deserving of either an exception to, a reinterpretation of, or a different implementation of, a current CompCom policy can be addressed to CompCom (compcom@cs). CompCom will handle policy requests promptly.
