The attached PDF contains the sessions and workshops that our committee is sponsoring. Regarding committee meeting, we (ABJ30) will meet Monday, January 10, 2005, 1:30pm- 5:30pm, in the Hilton Caucus Room. The agenda will come out shortly. The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee (ABJ30(1)) will meet Monday, January 10, 2005, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM in the Hilton. (NOTE--THIS IS A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS) Our Subcommittee on Metadata (ABJ30(2)) will meet at its usual time Monday, January 10, 2005, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM, Hilton. As Marcus Wigan mentioned in an earlier email, the subcommittee may move under the Freight Data (ABJ90) as Marcus rotates off ABJ30 but becomes Emeritus on ABJ90. I also agree that metadata is larger than any one committee and continues to grow as a crosscutting issue. One session that I want to give a special mention is Session 271, the First Annual Travel Data Users Forum., Monday, January 10, 2005, 10:15 AM - 12:00 PM, in the Hilton. Although the program shows it as sponsored solely by the National Transportation Data Requirements and Programs Committee (ABJ10) when you look at the content you will see our footprints all over it. (here is the link to it but I am not sure f it will work since i copied it out of the online session planner. http://trb.org/am/ip/assembly_detail.asp?id=2985) Finally, one other subcommittee I want to mention is the Archived Data User Service (ADUS) Subcommittee (AFD30(1)), Monday, January 10, 2005, 8:00 AM - 9:45 AM, Marriott. To help keep all of this straight I trust that you have already been adding things to your own interactive meeting planner personal program http://www.trb.org/am/ip/ ------ Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461

Committee Update

by ed christopher

First let me apologize for being so slow in getting information out relative to the Annual Meeting. As many know, I was busy dealing with TRB process issues--specifically membership rotations. As it turns out, we evolved into a committee of old timers--at least by TRB rules. According to TRB, members can serve for up to 3 consecutive terms with a term consisting of 3 years. Membership terms are aggregates of three 3-year clusters and tracked accordingly. For example, if you joined the committee in 2002, 2003 or 2004 your first term expires in April 2005. If added in 1999, 2000 or 2001 you are ending your second term and the rest are ending their third. However, there is one anomaly. It concerns Bob Sicko and Jerry Everett. Both were added in 1998 and ever since I have assumed chairmanship I have always counted them along with the 1999 cluster and TRB has never challenged this. I have reported it this way at our annual meeting each year and in our last triennial review. What I think has happened is that I have been using 1995 as the membership beginning date since those of us who are charter members began our terms in 1995, but somewhere along the line, TRB started counting from 1996. Regardless, I think the issue will work itself out in due time. Attached is the "rotational" paperwork I turned into TRB. As can be seen we have 11 members, 44% not counting our Emeritus, due to rotate off with one exception. I have been appointed chair for another term and get to extend for 3 more years. The attachment also shows six new members I am recommending to TRB for membership as well as my verbiage addressing the TRB committee evaluative criteria. Technically, none of the actions happen until April 14, 2005 which means January is a good overlapping and planning time. For all those members rotating off or being recommended for membership this should not come as a surprised. Part of the reason it took me so long to get this far, besides the fact that TRB balked at my first proposal where I tried to reduce the number of rotations, was that I have been communicating over the phone and in person with affected members. While talking with you all was enjoyable the overall process has not been fun. Thats about it on this subject for now and expect your mailboxes to begin to full as we move to more real committee business over the next few weeks. If there are any questions feel free to send them along. I think you have to do a "reply all" to make sure you copy the whole committee. ---------- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461
