PPSC Working Group work team status update:

Glen:

Our group divided its work into two sections.  First, we are developing a 
Charter Drafting Guidelines document that would assist groups that are 
chartering a Working Group in putting together an appropriate Charter.  Second, 
we are putting together a Working Group Operating Model Guidebook that would be 
used by Working Groups to understand how to operate a working group.  
Currently, we have finished the work on a majority of the Charter Drafting 
Guidelines document.  We hope to have a call for consensus for about 90% of the 
document within the next 2 weeks.  However, because certain sections of the 
Charter Drafting Guidelines cross-reference information in the Working Group 
Operating Model Guidebook, there are a couple of sections for which we will 
have to delay the call for consensus until such time as the Working Group 
Operating Model Guidebook is finalized.  Hence, we plan to start work on the 
second document next week.  We are cognizant that some portions of the Working 
Group Operating Model Guidebook are reliant on working going on in other parts 
of the reorganization effort and we have every intention (with the assistance 
of our able staff liaisons) to ensure that our work compliments and/or 
incorporates the work of these other groups before being finalized.  We have a 
rough draft of this second document prepared and will now begin the task of 
refining the text.  It is our hope to have the document in a position to have 
an intense drafting session in Seoul so that we can have a draft to put out a 
call for consensuses soon thereafter.

I hope this information will assist you.

J. Scott
