    Initial Planning for Implementation of the Advanced National Seismic
    System in the Central U.S.

    For those who don't read manuals: meeting on 5/31/00 (see last paragraph).

    As you may already know, the Advanced National Seismic System is an
    initiative to organize, modernize, and standardize operation of
    seismic networks in the United States.  It is a cross-disciplinary
    effort designed to meet the needs of the Nation, while maintaining
    local interests and expertise.  A meeting of the interim national
    oversight committee was held in Albuquerque on February 29, 2000
    and a management structure was proposed.  Details can be found
    at http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov.

    One conclusion of the interim national committee was the need
    for no more the six or seven regions and that these regions
    should self-organize.  Regions are formed by local interested
    parties developing an implementation plan and submitting this
    to the national committee.  When this plan meets the goals and
    standards of the ANSS the region is established.  It is essential
    that a broad community has access to any regional plan and
    that there be suitable mechanisms for comment.

    To this end, several parties with interest in the Central U.S.
    met on April 18, 2000.  This meeting had minimal lead time
    and participants were selected for convenience and association
    with specific disciplines.  The meeting summary is available
    at http://www.ceri.memphis.edu/CUSSN.  This url is temporary
    until we find a more permanent home. It is hoped that as many
    people and organizations will provide feedback as possible. Particularly
    in the central U.S. participation must include a wide and
    diverse group.  However, for practical and fiscal reasons,
    it is desirable to keep the core group as small and representative
    as possible.  An interim regional subcommittee has been formed and
    will meet in conjunction with EERI at the Saint Louis Adams Mark
    Hotel at 1PM on May 31, 2000 (see the CUSSN url for details).  This
    meeting will be open to any interested parties.
