User:Nihonjoe/World Science Fiction Society

The World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) is an unincorporated literary society consisting of members of the current Worldcon. The society selects the recipients of the Hugo Awards, the location of each Worldcon, and the location of the North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFic) in years when Worldcon is located outside North America.

Governance
The WSFS does not have a standing board of directors or any executives. Each Worldcon committee acts as the leadership for the year in which they run their convention. The only permanent committee of the organization is the Mark Protection Committee, which acts to manage and protect the service marks and other intellectual property of the society.
