Hi Kate!

I think Marcello and I have updated you as to the website re-organization.  It is coming along quite well.  The new organization paradigm is to identify cross-cutting topics ("Transit Planning", "Pedestrian Safety", "Livability") and create a 'pin-board' list of data sources, etc for each topic.  Although we hoped to have a draft ready for the mid-year, of course we encountered technical difficulties.  Currently we think we can release a beta in the early fall, get feedback from the committee members, and present something at the annual meeting.

So I see I am on the agenda you sent out?  I am not sure what this presentation would be about?  I can do some research on the performcace measure requirements in Map 21, but I saw Andrew Taylor present at the Planning Apps conference and he was really good.  That kind of practical experience is priceless.

If Andrew is not a member (I don't think he is) he might consider doing the same kind of presentation for us anyway.  It would fit the bill perfectly!

Let me know what you had in mind!

Nancy
