It is time for a quick update on TRB papers. This year I am doing something that I have learned that several other committees do. I am sending around the list of Papers assigned to the committee and asking for volunteers. Of course, I will also be making assignments as I don't expect every paper to be fully subscribed. Attached is the list of papers we have so far. Its only 21. I emphasis "so far". Yesterday, due to the excessive demands on the TRB servers, TRB extended the deadline another day and I am sure that TRB staff is waiting for things to settle down before they take another run at their committee assignments. If you see a paper that you would like to review let me know as soon as possible. Also, if you see a paper and you know of someone not on the committee who is a particular expert in the area and interested let me know that too. As in years past, I expect to be pulling in reviewers from outside the immediate committee to assure that we have the proper expertise reviewing.
