Proceeding with working groups, the amalgamated rules committee’s open-play working group (Camp, E. K. Hall of Dartmouth, Reid) rejects forward passing across the scrimmage line. But at the next full rules-committee meeting, Hall individually proposes passing across the line under certain limits—for example, loss of possession if the passed ball strikes the ground, untouched by a player. His proposal becomes the basis for full committee approval of forward passing along with Camp’s ten-yard rule (plus a neutral zone separating opposing lines). A Central Board of Officials is also created, with Camp a member, to instruct officials, develop a roster of satisfactory officials, and on request appoint officials for games. St. Louis University, coached by Edward Cochems, uses forward passes extensively in 1906. Cochems writes an article on passing for Camp’s How to Play Football booklet. Camp successfully uses a pass against Harvard in 1906 for the winning points. By 1908 a number of Midwest teams are using the forward pass ten or more times per game.

NEAT is a loosely constituted regional scheme under the ASEAN plus Three (APT) framework. Its main objectives are to promote exchange among APT scholars and research institutes in the region, and to promote relevant research that can facilitate the APT regional cooperation process. Research is done through organising Working Groups. NEAT has made important progress in the past 10 years. To grow and expand in future, it will have to improve on its networking function and strengthen its Working Group mechanism.

Camp semiretires from the NHCC in 1923, relinquishing the presidency and general management to younger men and becoming chairman of the board. The change comes after the company experiences strong sales through the war and through 1920, then endures a difficult countrywide recession in 1921 and 1922, before beginning a good recovery in late 1922 and into 1923. Camp dies March 14, 1925, from a sudden heart attack during the night between two sessions of a New York rules-committee meeting. As a Camp memorial, Yale Field is renamed Walter Camp Field, and a large colonnaded gateway is erected at the entrance to the field, paid for by substantial contributions from the Yale community as well as from colleges, universities, and preparatory schools and high schools around the country. Contributions come from 224 colleges and universities. But the finest memorial could be the game itself, testifying to Camp contributions that still define and benefit the game, worthy of an occasional remembrance of the game’s “father” and most prominent contributor.

Material for this report was collected by the President, Vice-President and Members of the Organizing Committee. The President is, however, responsible for the form in which the report now appears. A number of special abbreviations in the references are explained in the report of Committee 27a. In addition, 3rd Harvard = 3rd Harvard-Smithsonian Conference on Stellar Atmospheres (1968). The field of Commission 29 overlaps particularly with those of 9, 27a, 36, 44 and 45 whose reports should be consulted. Since the last IAU meeting 29 has co-sponsored the following meetings: IAU Colloquium No. 4 on Stellar Rotation (Columbus, Ohio, September 1969); IAU Symposium No. 36, Ultraviolet Stellar Spectra and Related Ground-Based Observations (Lunteren, June, 1969); Second Trieste Colloquium, Mass Loss from Stars (September, 1968). We are also co-sponsoring IAU Symposium No. 42 on White Dwarfs to be held in Scotland (August, 1970). The thanks of the commission are due to their representatives on the organizing committees of these meetings. Reports from some working groups are appended. The working group with Commission 44 has not felt it necessary to submit a report (its main activity was the organization of Symposium No. 36). Miss Underhill (Chairman) recommends that the working group on Tracings of High Dispersion Stellar Spectra be dissolved.

Measurement Capabilities

<p><span>The German national metrology institute Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is organized in typical different sections and divisions, each of them bringing in their own portfolio on specific calibration and measurement capabilities. Customer are being served on various fields of work and metrological SI-traceability strategies are developed for all the units of measurements. However, despite many third-party projects driven by individual PTB groups [1], as for example within the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR, [2]) and its different Environmental calls, PTB has never been seen itself as a climate research institute. With the foundation of the European Metrology Network for Climate and Ocean Observation (EMN) [3], PTB has now brought its various expertise on metrology for climate research to a new level of combination.</span></p><p><span>The presentation highlights the input from three different working groups of PTB to the EMN related to its sections “Atmosphere”, “Ocean”, and “Land” as being addressed by the groups for Spectrometric Gas Analysis [4], Electrochemistry [5], and Infrared Radiation Thermometry [6], respectively. With those expertise PTB seeks to support the idea of the EMN bringing in measurement techniques like in situ laser spectroscopy-based species quantification, FTIR-based analysis of atmospheric gases and related spectral line parameters of key greenhouse gases and offering its consulting services to the EMN in the “Atmosphere” section. On the “Ocean” section of the EMN PTB offers its expertise based on ph-measurements, salinity definitions and respective calibration and measurement capabilities, whereas the “Land” section of the EMN is benefitting from PTB’s application-specific traceability concepts for infrared radiation thermometry and infrared radiometry and for quantitative thermography and for emissivity measurements in the field of satellite-, aircraft- and ground-based optical remote sensing of the atmosphere and Earth (-90 °C to 100 °C).</span></p><p><span>Examples for all three working groups will be presented and discussed in view of there benefit to the EMN.

Cancer Immunotherapies

80 Background: The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) Immuno-Oncology Institute was developed in 2015 to prepare all members of the multidisciplinary cancer care team for the complex implementation of immuno-oncology in the community setting. Today, with more than 50 cancer immunotherapy indications and over 2,500 clinical trials with cancer immunotherapies, the challenges and issues related to recognizing and managing immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have grown even more complex for community practitioners. Methods: The ACCC Immuno-Oncology Institute assembled 4 working groups focused on addressing the diverse issues around the delivery and management of patients on cancer immunotherapies. The working groups were divided by 4 topics: staff training and education; multispecialty care coordination and communication; telemedicine; and big data. A detailed systemic review of the literature was conducted for each topic in the context of immuno-oncology, to determine the current landscape of information and available resources. The findings were then shared with the working group members and collaborative discussions ensued over 12 virtual committee meetings. The 19 working group members are diverse by discipline, including specialties such as emergency medicine, dermatology, primary care, survivorship, pathology, and academic researchers. Results: The ACCC Working Group Summit convened in September 2018 to develop innovative educational opportunities for community practitioners related to managing irAEs across the 4 topic areas. Eight unique action plans were developed by working group members. Conclusions: For each of the 4 key areas, working group members identified a list of opportunities that would improve how clinicians are managing irAEs for patients being treated with immunotherapy. It is critical for future educational interventions to encompass the multispecialty team perspective related to the management of irAEs.

The UN Open GIS Initiative is to identify and develop, under UN guidance, an Open Source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners (partner nations, technology contributing countries, international organizations, academia, NGO’s, private sector). The project, started in 2016, is composed by 4 working groups. <br><br> One of the working group is specifically related to Capacity Building, given its importance for the success of the project. <br><br> UN Open GIS will be based on some existing open source geospatial software (packages and libraries) with many extensions specifically developed. The users of the platform will be the UN staff supporting with mapping and GIS the peacekeeping missions. Therefore, they are generally expert of this specific domain, even if they are currently using proprietary software. UN Open GIS Capacity Building is specifically thought for covering this gap, providing them the suitable background about open source geospatial software in general and the education tailored to the solution that has been being developed within the project itself.
