I just received a email that the Census Bureau has begun a listserv regarding ACS issues. As you are aware, the CB plans to have ACS replace the decennial Census "long form." Here is the link to the CB page to "subscribe" to the list. lists.census.gov/mailman/listinfo/acs-alert The first message from the "ACS alert" failed to include the information about the Federal Register notice of Jan 16, with responses due on March 20, regarding plans for full implementation of the ACS beginning in 2003. wais.access.gpo.gov docid: fr16ja02-38 Here is the text of the message I received from the CB: WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY ALERT. This is the first in a series of periodic e-mail messages to inform you about news, events, data releases, Congressional actions, and other developments associated with the American Community Survey. The American Community Survey is the U.S. Census Bureau's new approach for collecting accurate and timely socioeconomic and housing information about our nation and its states, cities, and communities. As part of the Census Bureau's plan to re-engineer the decennial census, the American Community Survey will replace the long form in 2010. It will begin full implementation nationwide in 2003, pending Congressional funding. It will give federal, state, and local government officials, as well as the profit and nonprofit sectors, data every year to evaluate programs and chart the future. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Links to the Data Data from the American Community Survey test sites are available at <http://www.census.gov/acs/www>;. Data from the Census 2000 Supplementary Survey, which uses the American Community Survey questionnaire and methodology, are now available for the ntion, the states, the District of Columbia, and almost all cities and counties with populations of 250,000 or more. Data from the Census 2000 Supplementary Survey are available at <http://www.census.gov/c2ss/www>;. The data for both the American Community Survey and the Census 2000 Supplementary Survey may also be accessed through the American FactFinder at <http://factfinder.census.gov>;. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Contact Us If you have any questions or comments about the American Community Survey or the Census 2000 Supplementary Survey, please call 1-888-456-7215 or send an e-mail to <cmo.acs(a)census.gov>.

RE: [CTPP] Fw: CTTP News

by Nwoko, Felix

I agree with Peter and others who have written to support the CTPP list service. I believe the cross pollination of ideas has been healthy. As matter of fact, when I don't have time to read the emails at the office, I print them and read at home!

Those who are leaving the list in a huff and peppering the rest of us with their requests to be removed, instead of using the correct procedure to take themselves off the list have misused the list far more than any participants in the recent discussions.

Technology benefits us

by Chad.Ives＠ci.wilmington.nc.us

The reason we use this list serve is to promote efficient communication and exchange of ideas. List services are based on the premise of people having the option to reply or using the information they find. If you don't like it delete it, but don't stop using the service for your input may be crucial to some future issue. By removing yourself from the group you diminish the over knowledge base and the effectiveness of this service. Thanks Chad Ives

Neither you nor Bob owe anyone any apologies for anything you wrote -- not in quantity and certainly not in quality. For those of us who are affected greatly by the decisions about CTPP data, it is very helpful to understand some of the background -- even the disputes -- about this very sensitive issue. When I go back to my MPO Committees and Board to explain that we will now have to spend several tens of thousands of dollars for an expanded O-D study next year, I definitely want to be able to answer any questions they may have -- especially because for the past three years, we have anticipated receiving useful data from the CTPP. > I will still be most happy to answer questions that people > have.

I think a full and public airing of these issues is exactly the kind of information which SHOULD be part of the discussions on this List; and to those who left in a huff -- good riddance to narrow minds. My thanks to you and to Bob for your candor, and I would appreciate it if you would continue such discussions on the List where I can read them and try to better understand the large and small issues involved.

Thanks for the idea exchanges

by Ruben Manubay

I want to thank the group who spontaneously without hesitation, participated the discussion to expressively sent their response on the census idea and concept they thought would provide information helpful to others. I'm not in any way oppose to this free expression of ideas and concept. I don't want it, be stop or changes. Thanks a lot to those who unselfishly join the fray. More power to all of you, who willingly tried to share those concepts and ideas to all of us. Keep me in, I believed those ideas are valuable information. Many Thanks again. R. B. Manubay, P.E.

RE: [CTPP] CTPP News

by Vanderwey, Alan

Please keep me on the list. If it wasn't for CTPP, I wouldn't get any e-mails. I'm glad that somebody actually thinks about this stuff and is willing to discuss it. The only way it could get any better is if somebody would include pictures. Thanks.

Re: [CTPP] Call for reason

by Elizabeth Hartmann

I'm with John and Carlos on this. Personally, I've gotten a lot of good information from the emails. If the conversations go "private," we lose a purpose of the listserve, and lose a sense of community. I think the fact that there are disagreements and issues is important information in itself...maybe another strategy would be to take a deep breath, count to ten, and keep on talking. I'm still listening... Liz Hartmann
