DirectorŐs Report (T Goodman)

á    All CIE publications will be reviewed every four years to determine whether they are current or need to be updated.  Detailed procedures are TBD.

á    Guidelines for TC membership have been developed in D2. Similar guidelines are considered for all CIE Divisions.

á    Guidelines for Uncertainty sections in TC reports have been developed in D2. These guidelines are available on the D2 website.

á    Director asked for feedback on the CIE publication webshop. There were comments that the restrictions on PDF files make them very difficult to use.

á    The next CIE Midterm session in 2009 will be in Budapest, Hungary. Dates are TBD (last week of May is considered). Next Quadrennial Session in 2011 will be in South Africa.

 

SecretaryŐs Report (Y Ohno)

á    D2 now has 36 country members.  Belgium representative has changed.

á    The summary and minutes of the 2006 D2 Meeting in Braunschweig were produced and distributed.

á    About 200 people are on the D2 mailing list (reflector) and it is regularly updated. 

á    The D2 website has been kept updated.  17 TC drafts are posted.  TC chairs should distribute TC passwords to TC members periodically.  All country representatives can get a global password to access all TC drafts.

á    Email reflectors for D2 and eight TCs are maintained.  Use of email reflectors for TC discussions between physical meetings is strongly encouraged.

á    Due to the change of Secretary and the security issues with the NIST server, the D2 website will be moved soon to CIE CB server.

 

EditorŐs Report (J Gardner, read by Y Ohno)

á   Final revisions have been prepared for DS014-1, DS014-2, TC2-16 and TC2-45 documents (these have all been published).

á   TC2-25 document has been edited for Division ballot.

á   The Editor is willing to review TC drafts informally once they near final form, possibly often.  But before the TC ballot, the Editor would like to receive a formal request from TC chair for official D2 editing. TC chairs are requested to send new TC drafts to the Editor according to these suggestions.   

á   If Editor does not respond to TC chairŐs request for one month, the TC chair should send him a reminder.

 

Progress reports from TCs, Reporterships, and Liaisons

á     The following 11 TCs and one reportership met in Beijing on July 9 and 10: TC2-40 (Blattner), TC2-47 (Sperling), TC2-48 (Eppeldauer), TC2-49 (Ohno), TC2-50 (Schuette), TC2-51 (Austin), TC2-52 (Vandermeersch), TC2-53 (Roesler), TC2-56 (Miller), TC2-58 (Kohmoto), TC2-59 (Blattner), and R2-36 (Heidel).

á     The status of all the 25 TCs, reporterships, and liaisons were reported by TC chairs, reporters, and liaison persons, who were present, coordinated by the Associate Directors. Some written reports were read for those who were not present at the meeting.

For reports of each TC, see the minutes of the meeting, which are forthcoming.

 

T Goodman handed over the meeting chair to Y Ohno at this point.  Goodman was enthusiastically thanked by the new management team and the participants for her excellent leadership for Division 2 for the past eight years.  Goodman stays on CIE Board as Vice President Publication for the next term.

 

Dissolution of TCs and Reporterships

á     TC2-42 Colorimetric measurements for visual displays (K Vassie):  Closed due to inactivity. Related activity will continue under a new reportership. 

á     R2-28 Evaluation of colorimeter spectral responsivity (B Kranicz):  Closed due to inactivity for several years.

á     R2-37 Industrial lighting requirements for a D65 illuminant (E Pierson): A report was submitted in 2006 with no TC proposal, and activity completed.

 

New TCs and Reporterships Established

(1) TC2-62  Imaging-photometer-based Near-Field Goniophotometry

Chair: Walter Steudtner (Germany),  AD: Sauter

TR: To prepare a CIE recommendation on the methods for characterization and calibration of imaging-photometer-based near-field goniophotometers and for determination and conversion of photometric data of lamps and luminaries for both near-field and far-field applications.

 

(2) R2-38 Measurement of spectral properties of photometers and colorimeters

Reporter:  Jiangen Pan (China),    AD: Sauter

TR: Investigate the measurement conditions for spectral responsivity of colorimeters and photometers, with special account for determination of f1Ő. 

 

(3) R2-39 Display measurement standard - liaison with ICDM

Reporter: Ken Vassie (UK),      AD: Johnson

TR: Liaise with International Committee for Display Metrology in Society for Information Display and investigate possibility of collaboration.

 

Changes of TCs and Reporterships

á    The chair of TC2-40 is changed to Peter Blattner (Switzerland), due to death of R Rattunde.

á    The chair of TC2-59 is changed to Udo Krueger (Germany), due to BlattnerŐs taking on TC2-40.

á    The TR of TC2-51 (Calibration of multi-channel spectrometers) is changed.

New TR: Produce a technical report for the calibration of detector array spectroradiometers primarily for the determination of colorimetric and photometric quantities, including performance characteristics, evaluation of these characteristics, calibration methods and guidance in the application of methods for the determination of uncertainty. 

á    The TR of TC2-49 will be changed to limit the scope to measurement of effective intensity only.  The new TR will be finalized by the TC.

 

Future D2 Meetings and Symposia

 

2008:             D2 meeting will be in Torino, Italy, hosted by M L Rastello.  In conjunction, a D2 symposium on Advanced photometer, colorimeter, and spectral measurements (tentative title, with a focus on imaging photometers and colorimeters, spectral measurements and f1' characterization, near-field goniophotometry among other topics) is planned.  The week of July 7 is considered, and to be officially announced soon.

 

2009:             D2 will meet in Budapest, Hungary, in conjunction with the CIE Midterm session.  A conference on solid-state lighting is planned for the Midterm. This will include sessions on measurements of LEDs/SSL and will replace the LED measurement symposium that was planned by D2 earlier. Dates are TBD (last week of May is considered).

 

2010:             Open

 

Adjournment

Y Ohno expressed his great thanks to Chinese National Committee of CIE for hosting the CIE Session and Division meetings in Beijing with excellent facilities and gracious hospitality. The meeting adjourned at 5:30 PM.
