PRELIMINARIES: The meeting was called to order by President Michael Taaffe. The attendees briefly introduced themselves.

REPORTS: Mike Taaffe announced that the INFORMS-CS representatives to the WSC Board of Directors are James R. Wilson and Barry L. Nelson.

Susan Sanchez recapped highlights of the Phoenix WSC `99 INFORMS-CS business meeting. For details, see the minutes on the web page or Spring 2000 newsletter.

John Charnes listed the sponsored sessions at the Salt Lake City INFORMS meeting.

Susan Sanchez gave the treasurer's report. Since dues are going up and the newsletter is being distributed electronically, I-CS once again appears to be on sound financial footing. Dean Hartley requested that better refreshments be provided at the business meetings.

Dave Goldsman reported that membership in the College is up. We are one of the larger subdivision in terms of overall membership. Dave also reported on the Committee on Underrepresented Minorities and Women hosted 6 graduate students and one advisor for the past WSC.

The INFORMS-CS Archives and History projects are proceeding. Anyone with relevant materials or information should contact Jim Wilson. Jim was successful in gaining permission from the WSC Board for the College to post all recent and future WSC Proceedings on the web. `97 through `99 Proceedings are now available.

Russell Barton was thanked for his excellent work during his term as Newsletter Editor. Steve Chick is the incoming Editor, and Shane Henderson is the incoming Associate Editor. As approved in the prior business meeting, the newsletter will be posted on the web. Members of the College will be notified by brief e-mails containing a link to the appropriate page. Hard copies will be provided only on request. Attendees were referred to the Spring Newsletter for detailed Area Editors' Reports, as well as reports on the highly successful WSC `99.

NEW BUSINESS: Mike Taaffe reminded those attending of the May 31, 2000 deadline for voting in the election for new INFORMS-CS officers. Once again, the topic of INFORMS-CS' role in the INFORMS meetings was discussed. The simulation track has shrunk over the years at the fall meetings. One difficulty is finding people to give talks so close to WSC, particularly since it's undesirable to give the same talk at two conferences. It is unclear whether the College will participate on a regular basis in the spring INFORMS meetings. A suggestion from the floor was to see whether INFORMS might consider moving the fall meeting to early October to alleviate this problem. If INFORMS-CS has a large membership they might have some voice in the meeting time selection.

Barry Nelson thanked Mike Taaffe for his service as INFORMS-CS President. He received a rousing round of applause from the attendees.

Respectfully submitted by Susan M. Sanchez, Secretary/Treasurer
