Barnhart 2 APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion, was made, seconded and passed That the Minutes of the Meeting of April 6, 1965, as bulletined by the Association, be approved. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT There was no report presented. The Traffic Committee is to be asked to investigate the report of a company shipping insulating cements ae a "high temperature bonding mortar". PUBLICITY COMMITTEE REPORT D. MacCurdy reported that he had contacted IDCNA relative to buying editorial pages in the nIDCNA Newsletter-'1. After discussion the matter was referred to the Board of Directors for decision. MARKETING RESEARCH COMMITTEE REPORT In Chairman R. L. LoefTLer's absence, J. hi. Barnhart read the report as follbws: GOVERNMENT STATISTICS The Committee met in Washington on May 25, with representatives of tbs Census Bureau. The purpose in meeting was to formulate an annual census on all thermal and acoustical insulations using a uniform product/ market basis. Conventional insulations for thermal and acoustical applica tions represent manufacturer's shipments on the order of $600 million annually. While the Committee's primary interest is in a census of all mechanical contract (industrial) insulations, we see advantages to NIMA members and the entire insulation industry from a consolidated annual census of all insulations. The Census Bureau prepared the attached survey form which we received August 11. In its present form, the survey would not provide for organic cellular (plastic foam) and organic fibur (wood, bagasse) insulations. There are other "gaps" which we plan to comment on to the Census Bureau. We do not believe the survey will be ci. broad interest as presently structured, and shall continue to press for the inclusion of all insulations. Fast experi ence in arranging with the Census Bureau for a new industry series, has 3 MARKETING RESEARCH COMMITTEE REPORT (Conl'd.) proven that it is much better to delay the initial survey than to proceed and hope for "running" changes in order to provide value. NIMA STATISTICS Unit Reporting - There is a need for some means to "wash-out" the effect of changing market mix and pricing on NIMA shipments statistics. Without such provision, there is considerable risk associated with projecting industry shipments. After intermittent discussion, extending over several years, the Committee recommends that this project.be tabled indefinitely. To provide meaningful physical unit reporting would require adjustments to the basic record keeping provision of individual NIMA members. As an interim measure, the Committee suggests that each member maintain his separate records on pricing and on changes in the market mix of products. These records can then be considered along with his company's forecast of construction and market research 'indings in order to project insulation shipments. Elastomeric Pipe Insulation - Members were polled to determine their interest in organic cellular foam insulation shipments for job-site applica tion to the mechanical segment of construction. While the members did not express a desire for such a comprehensive reporting at this time, the Committee suggests that the Board of Directors now consider a provision for just the elastomeric pipe insulation segment. Duct Liner - The Committee recommends that duct liner insulation be reported in a separate category effective with January 1966 shipments. Duct liner can be readily segregated; whereas other blanket, board and felt products must usually be cross referenced by customer in order to determine whether they enter the mechanical contract insulation market. This separate reporting of duct liner would preferably be accomplished by minor revision of the existing three-part NIMA shipments report form. If the Directors prefer to not change <:he reporting form at this time a recap sheet could oa3ily be provided. Air Duct Systems - The Committee reported last April that Air Duct Systems were to be included in the "Boards and Felts: Faced and Coated" category as well as in the separate recap sheet prepared for distribution to reporting manufacturers of the systems. With the exception of seme rectangular duct board, duct system?: were not reported by members prior to January 1965. We have now learned that only a portion of duct systems were reported in the Boards and Fel's category during January-July 1965. However, there is no question about >he completeness of the separate Air Duct Systems report. 4 MARKETING RESEARCH COMMITTEE REPORT (Cont'd.) August reports are being held for a decision by the Directors as to whether all members1 duct systems, or none, are to be reported in the Boards and Felts category. The attached table is presented to illustrate the impact of partial reporting of air duct systems in the Boards and Felts category. Monthly shipments during 1965 will also reflect the segregation of plain vs. faced and coated material reported in the former "under 4-1/4 lb. felts" category. Products Reported - A listing of products reported in each category on the NIMA report form, by company and trade name is attached. In light of the misunderstanding which developed in the reporting of Air Duct Systems this year, the Committee proposes to conduct further investiga tions toward clarification of shipments to be reported by members. Cr.e method suggested would be to have Price Waterhouse report to Mr. Barnhart on the categories (not amounts) in which each member is currently reporting. Mr. Barnhart could then check for disclosure, and verify that the intent of our statistical program is understood by each member. *44 9 444**444444 It was agreed that the reporting of elastomeric pipe insulation would not be done, inasmuch as it would not be complete with respect to the total dollars of this product 3old. 4444444 44449 9 R. Fuhs agreed to delete "foamglas" pipe insulation from the statistical report starting with the January 1, 1966, report. TECHNICAL St RESEARCH COMMITTEE REPORT J, M. Barnhart reported on the activities of the Committee and the various Subcommittees in accordance with the Minutes of the Meetings attached hereto and made part of these Minutes, It was requested that copies of correspondence relating to primary' T i R Committee subjects be sent on to the Board of Directors. *999999 ; 94 4 444 It was requested that the T i R Committee Sections preoare a list of *' agenda items and a scheduled date of completion for such items. 5 DUCT SYSTEMS COMMITTEE REPORT J. M, Barnhart reported on the activities of the Committee in accordance with the Minutes of their Meetings which are attached hereto and mads a part of these Minutes. NOMINATING COMMITTEE REPORT M. W.
