Time Allocation Committee Membership (1Mar93) (from CTIO, NOAO Newsletter No. 33, 1 March 1993) The composition of the TAC has changed substantially since the last listing was published (September 1991). The TAC has historically consisted of eight members, but it has now been enlarged, experimentally, to nine, because of the increased responsibilities of the members (see preceding article). Each external member serves a term of three years duration. Appointments are made by the CTIO Director, who attempts to ensure that a balanced representation exists between stellar, galactic, interstellar medium, and extragalactic research. TAC members are not necessarily CTIO users, but are experts in their respective areas and, in particular, understand the interpretation of observations. An effort is also made to ensure that the TAC includes both spectroscopists and photometrists, as well as at least one expert in infrared observational techniques. The current members of the CTIO TAC are: Nicholas B. Suntzeff (Chair: Jan 1991 - ) CTIO May 1986 - Jill Bechtold University of Arizona November 1992 - May 1995 Karl-Heinz Bo”hm University of Washington November 1990 - May 1993 Marc Davis University of California, Berkeley May 1993 - November 1993? Harriet Dinerstein University of Texas November 1991 - May 1994 Jonathan Elias CTIO May 1993 - Eileen Friel Maria Mitchell Observatory May 1992 - November 1994 Eric Persson Carnegie Observatories May 1993 - November 1995 Andrew Wilson Space Telescope Science Institute November 1990 - May 1993 Bob Williams
