Re: StART

Thank you for the opportunity to address the progress of StART. Over these
formative months, StART has engaged the time-tested organizational development
concept "forming," "storming," norming," and "performing." Right now, the StART
working group on noise is making significant progress in multiple areas, some of
which are novel for Sea-Tac International Airport. This working group is performing
capably, and offers the possibility of tangible small wins in noise reduction.  Beyond
this, the runway pilot project, articulated most recently in committee by Delta and
Alaska, offers the possibility of even greater noise reduction, as well as improved
operational safety and efficiency.

Lance Lyttle should be commended forinitiating StART, which offers a capable
formatfor dialogue with disparate stakeholders to Sea-Tac International Airport. To
stick to Tuckman's 1965 organizational model, large-group StART has been
vigorously forming and storming, and recently appears to be norming, if not quite
performing.

| am optimistic, however, that START will become part of the fabric of individual,
group and organizational interaction that enables Sea-Tac International Airport to be
all it can be, while repairing and enhancing the residential quality of life in the region.

Sincerely,
