The generous contributions of OSA's leadership, individual and corporate members and friends are greatly appreciated. Through their support, the Foundation raised more than $112,000 in 2005, exceeding our goal by 12 percent. Last year, the Foundation funded eight programs, including a travel grant program for students in developing countries; a grant program that provided OSA Local Sections and Student Chapters with funding to conduct youth science outreach around the globe; translation of OpticsForKids.org into Spanish; membership grants to students and scientists in developing countries; a collaboration with the Girl Scouts of the USA to encourage middle-school-aged young women to learn about optics and photonics; and more. We thank our donors and volunteers for making these achievements possible.
The CIE chromaticity diagram, which has been in common use for more than 60 years, disguises essential relations among cone excitations that become transparent in a system developed with D. I. A. MacLeod and initially proposed by the author to the CIE in 1979. This proposal led to the formation of a CIE committee to consider an ideal version of the system, to be employed either as a supplement to, or an alternative for, the 1931 "standard observer". After 15 years, the task remains unfinished. The history of debate within the original committee and that of its successor (which is still active today) is briefly reviewed. Among cone fundamentals that might be chosen, a set derived and published by Stockman, MacLeod, and Johnson [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 10, 2491 (1993)] is favored here, and some of the advantages for displaying visual data in a system based on these fundamentals are illustrated.
