Harry E. Blanchard New Year's Update on Human Computer Interaction Standards: Part 1: The U.S. 1 am pleased to say that the Standards column in the SIGCHI Bulletin will be returning as a regularfeature. I deeply apologize to those o f you who look forward to the regular appearance o f these columns. The absence o f this column was an unfortunate consequence o f my own scheduling problems, and it was a further misfortune to have this occur at the same time that the Bulletin began appearing irregularly. Moving forward, I expect this column to appear several times during the year, and the length and nature o f the column will adapt as the Bulletin itself changes format in the year 2000. Please send any comments, observations, opinions, and topic suggestions to me at heb@acm.org. I will begin this year by backing up to standards committees I have discussed before and catching up with their latest activities. In this column, I will start with U.S. standards on human computer interaction. Since 1985, the H u m a n Factors and Ergonomics Society has sponsored the HFES H u m a n Computer Interaction Standards C o m
