In order to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss common problems with science teachers The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held a one and one-half day meeting in New York at the time of the Christmas meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The suggestion for a joint session with the National Science Teaching Societies came originally from the Cooperative Committee on Science and Mathematics Teaching, a committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Cooperative Committee includes representatives of sixteen professional organizations and the United States Office of Education. E. H. C. Hildebrandt was the first representative of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics on the Committee and the author is the present representative. Raleigh Schorling is the Committee representative of the Mathematical Association of America.

✓ The President of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) reviews the formative history of the major neurosurgical societies, together with their agreement to consolidate their efforts in the joint AANS. As a united group, the Association has been effective in carrying out relations with other professional organizations and with government. Long-range planning is being pursued steadily to increase the role of organized neurosurgery in maintenance of, and improvement in, patient care, education, and research.

Faced with increased diversification of methodologies in the polling industry, the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research Center is embarking on a major initiative aimed at increasing methodological transparency across the field of public opinion survey research by increasing minimum disclosure requirements and providing users with transparency scoring for new submissions to the archive. Roper Center, the world’s largest archive of public opinion survey data, has long enforced disclosure requirements for archival submissions based on transparency standards developed by professional organizations in the polling industry, particularly the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). Roper Center’s new requirements and scoring mechanism expand longstanding policies and procedures to better meet the challenges of today’s research environment.In this paper, Roper Center’s new standards will be described in the context of the historical development of transparency expectations in the polling community. The paper presentation will also detail the implementation process, providing an account of how standards were translated into actionable DDI-based metadata to drive an automatic scoring system, how new workflows were developed with input from data providers to facilitate maximum disclosure, and how the display of the user interface was designed to ensure the transparency information can be easily viewed and understood.
