Dear friends,
Barry Taylor (NIST) has just now sent me some very useful information on
the roadmap to be followed in order to put the new SI in place at the
2018 CGPM meeting.
Go to http://www.bipm.org/en/about-us/ and scroll down in the News
column on the right hand side until you reach the item
http://www.bipm.org/en/news/full-stories/si-roadmap.html
Opening that produces a short brief including a link to a three-page
Presentation:
http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/SI-roadmap.pdf#page=3
The last slide shows a roadmap that details the tightly knit steps to be
undertake to implement the new SI definitions. Following that, a new SI
brochure will be produced. My guess is that the new brochure will come
out in 2019.
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all. May our new year be a more
peaceful one, at home and abroad.
Jim Frysinger
