Committee Posts for Coming Year Chairperson

Chairpersons of the Technical Standards Committee have generally held the post for more than one year and this has been the case for recent tenures. Jill Lewis has graciously offered to take up the baton and volunteered for the next year (or two!). However if anyone has any other names to put forward, who are willing to accept the post, please say!

Deputy Chairperson

This committee has been unusual in that the Vice Chairperson has usually been filled by the outgoing Chairperson but for conformities sake (and my sanity!) we have moved this to be the other way around and Bob Heath has generously volunteered his time to fill this role. As before if anyone has any other names to put forward, who are willing to accept the post, please say!

2006 Activities The TSC Sub-committee for SEG-D Revision 2.1 and SPS Revision

2.1 completed its work during the first part of 2006 and the SEG Executive Committee gave approval to the revisions in April. The Web Site has now been updated with the SEG-D and SPS documents.

Manufacturers codes were updated in the existing SEG-D format documents on the site, to reflect the current assignments.

The SEG-D Revision 3 sub-committee had an inaugural meeting in the UK in May followed by a larger review meeting at the Vienna EAGE meeting in June

An announcement article for SEG-D Revision 3 has been sent to the SEG Publications department for inclusion in the next issue of TLE as part of the formats acceptance procedures.

Several suggestions for formats definitions or updates had been proposed during the year, these will be covered by agenda items or in the AOB section.
