ATLANTA, Jan. 15/PRNewswire/ -- The Year 2000 computer problem, commonly known as Y2K, has been called the most complex technological problem in history. Georgia DOT Commissioner Wayne Shackleford has been asked to serve on the Senior Advisors Group of the President's Council on Year 2000 conversion. He is one of only 21 professionals nationwide from both the public and private sectors invited to participate on this historical committee.
"I am quite honored to have been asked by the president to serve as an advisor on this issue," Shackleford said. "I am confident we can work together to ensure the smoothest transition possible into the next century."
Shackleford will begin contributing his nationally recognized expertise in transportation policy development and Intelligent Transportation Systems to this initiative next week. The Senior Advisors Group is scheduled to meet on Thursday, Jan. 21, 1999 in the Roosevelt Room of the White House to discuss Y2K challenges and opportunities.
The President's Council on Year 2000 conversion, established on Feb. 4, 1998 by Executive Order 13073, coordinates the Federal Government's efforts to combat the Y2K computer problem. This problem is caused by a shortcut used by computer programmers in many information technology systems. The resulting glitch could cause them to either shutdown or malfunction, a significant problem in our electronic information-dependent society.
