Last year, in an attempt to focus this publication, the DACS formed an Editorial Board of distinguished professionals involved and concerned with measurement in software engineering practice. The Board meets four times a year, by teleconference. The objective of this activity is to seek outside advice and guidance on the form and content of the newsletter. The members of the Editorial Board, with the exception of the Kaman Sciences' personnel, all donate their time and we thank them for their interest and participation.
