209.2R-08 from publication for revision The discussion on the motion centered on the following ideas: • • • The need to further discuss the statistic concepts presented by Bazant The need to further discuss the significance of the requested revision and their effects on the users in understanding the Report as approved, since the statistical study presented by Bazant does not alter the conclusions from results in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 showing that the models by Bazant and Gadner results in better predictions The need to agree on one data base acceptable to the authors of the models and to the committee for the committee evaluation of the models Videla explained the status of ACI 209.2R-08 report The report is ready for publication and beyond the control of the committee Any action on this report is entirely in the jurisdiction of TAC Ronald Burg speaking as Chairman of TAC and a member of this committee explained in detail the procedure for any individual to directly request from TAC the withdraw of ACI 209.2R-08 He assured Bazant that TAC is willing to follow procedures if he pursues this route, but the committee has no power to change and withdraw the report now

(Al-Manaseer, Gardner and Weiss) There was a discussion on the need to establish a subcommittee to evaluate the statistics to be used by the committee, on how to improve its application in the evaluation of the prediction models, and their long term prediction Novak moved and Nassif seconded to appoint a Task group to start working in the next revision of ACI 209.2R-08 report, particularly on the statistical method for comparing models The twelve voting members present voted in favor with no negatives or abstentions Videla will appoint this Task group This Item was concluded by 10:45 AM
