Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is a joint government/industry initiative aimed at improving air traffic management through increased information exchange among various parties in the aviation community and improving automated decision support tools. A new leadership team, the Collaborative Stakeholders Group (CSG), provides recommendations to the FAA on CDM priorities and activities, oversees the general direction and mission of CDM and provides prioritization and tasking on possible technology, communication tools, etc., towards enhancing system efficiencies for the NAS. The CSG will form sub-teams and assign specific tasking to develop options for potential opportunities that may be presented to the FAA for action.
