Extractions: Risk Managers must become fluent in information systems, and fast There is a significant new risk all companies face, to varying degrees, which every risk manager must prepare. I am referring to the year 2000 problem, sometimes called the millennium bug. Failure to understand and prepare for it will assuredly cost risk managers their job, and more importantly cost companies in ways never imagined just a short while ago. Since the first generation back in the late 1950's and early 1960's, computers have been programmed with a two digit date field to represent the year. For example, the current year is "96" according to nearly all mainframes, networks, and personal computers. This choice of design was made because of the high price and limited amount of memory in early computer architecture. When 12:00 am Jan. 1, 2000 arrives, most computers will roll over to "00" and will be treated as 1900 for arithmetic purposes. An example of the problem: a mortgage company automatically sends out foreclosure notices to mortgagors who are 180 days overdue. Its computers are programmed to subtract the date due from today's date, and if the result is 180 days or more, it sends a form letter. Suppose further that the last payment by a mortgagor was on June 15, 1999. On Jan. 1, 2000, the computer will subtract "061599" from "010100" and arrive at a negative number. According to the computer, the delinquent mortgagor still has almost 100 years to make the next payment.

Extractions: Y2K Archives Hosted by Alan Simpson since 1996 Back to Main Menu Contact Us 10 Litigation Battlegrounds by Dan Steinberg and Andrew M. Pegalis, Esq There is a great deal of interest in the potential for Year 2000 litigation. One of the reasons for the interest is uncertainty. No one knows how much Y2K litigation is going to cost. There have been numerous figures in the trillions of dollars quoted, but in truth nobody really knows: Y2K litigation costs are even harder to estimate than 'fixing' costs. You cannot count your lines of code or number of workstations and multiply by some factor to get an estimated cost. The cost of Year 2000 litigation, both in fees and settlements, is not necessarily related to the cost of repair or the cost of the 'broken' component. But sooner or later, firms have to be able to estimate the litigation costs if they want to make informed decisions on where to spend their limited resources and how much to put in their contingency funds for litigation. To promote discussion and understanding, the authors have prepared a brief list outlining the possible avenues of litigation. No classification system is perfect, and it is possible that some situations may not fit nicely into any of the categories outlined in this paper.

With the passing of Y2K, some web sites and Y2K programs cited herein may have been dismantled. (updated August, 2000) Public Roads (September/October 1999) discussed some of the efforts underway to assist transportation operators to identify and resolve potential Year 2000 (Y2K) problems. The article stressed the need for contingency plans in the event that Y2K repair efforts fail or that failures are beyond the control of transportation operators, and it emphasized that it is critical that state and local governments build public confidence about Y2K preparedness within their communities. Much of the information in the article came from a working session of 20 state and local government officials on May 12, 1999. The session was conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation and its partner Public Technology Inc. (PTI). The purpose of the session was to draw on the expertise of the participants to develop material that would guide local and state transportation agencies in managing the Y2K transition weekend (Dec. 28 through Jan. 3). Now, a full report of this session is available on the Internet at
Extractions: Home by Pamela Crenshaw At the annual meeting of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America on May 5, 1998, Deputy Secretary of Transportation Mortimer L. Downey sounded a call to action, announcing a national summit of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) community to address Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problems in ITS. "The problem has its origins in computer systems that store only the last two numbers of years in dates (such as 98 for 1998; the 19 is assumed). This requires less disk storage space, but poses a major problem as we head into the year 2000. Computer systems could interpret 00 as 1900, rather than 2000. This could cause computers to crash, generate bad data, or otherwise malfunction. Transportation systems that depend on computers or vehicles using embedded computer chips could shut down," Downey said. The national summit was hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) in partnership with 22 transportation associations and professional groups on July 27. This one-day summit entitled "Partners for ITS Y2K Awareness to Action" served as the kick-off for a 500-day campaign to resolve the Y2K problems in ITS, and a product of the summit is "Steps for Action," a compilation of information for addressing Y2K problems from the educational, management, technical, and

Nathan Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. As you fix and then test, don't underestimate the importance of careful documentation. The development and execution of testing plans have considerable impact on a company's vulnerability to claims by shareholders and business partners. The issues include what information to retain and for how long; access to and protection of the testing results and related data; appropriate test methodology; and the role of legal counsel. Because the project depends so heavily on testing, third parties who have been injured by a Year 2000 system failure will certainly focus on the adequacy of the test plan and its implementation. Management should analyze and periodically review several aspects of this part of the project. First, is the test plan adequate and reasonable under the circumstances? Every injured party who suffers a Y2K-related loss will assert that the test plan should have included the best methodology, the right number of people (usually an infinite number), and all of the money necessary to successfully locate and fix every problem. While this may be desirable, it will not be the legal standard by which the plan is measured. Rather, the legal test will more likely be whether the plan was reasonable under all of the circumstances. Bear in mind that the outcome of applying this legal standard will depend on several factors, including the timeliness of the project as a whole and the testing phase in particular.
