A history of the term “NAD 83 (NSRS)”

NGS ESC meetings:

• 1998 May 6 – First mention of the term as “what the Canadians would like”. No decision, no commitment to this term is made.
• 1998 June 24 – Brought up in discussion as an alternative to “NAD 83 (date)” without any vote.
• 2001 Aug 22 – Proposal to use NAD 83 (NSRS) in a much larger general policy regarding the re-adjustment – “ESC decided to have Erika [Wilson] make suggested changes and have ESC members vote by E-mail and present policy statement at next ESC meeting.”
  

In between ESC meetings, and E-mail vote on the policy failed.

• 2001 Sep 27 – New policy toward the re-adjustment was presented at meeting, including use of the term “NAD 83(NSRS)”. The vote passed 5-0-0.
