Hello Jordyn, Jeff, Brian, and Barbara

The basic decisions were:

(1) Bruce Tonkin willl annouce a call for constituency statements for
each of the task forces at the GNSO Council meeting on 19 Feb.
Statements due 19 March 2004.
Conssituencies should begin drafting their statemetns as son as possile,
and adjust the statements as new data comes in.  It is not appropriate
to wait for all posisble data to arrive before starting the process.

(2) The time lines for producing the final reports will be:

March 19, 2004 - Receive Constituency Statements

April 9, 2004 - Preliminary Task Force Report

April 29, 2004 - Public Comment Period Closes

May 20, 2004 - Final Report Due

(3) Task forces should begin drafting the preliminary task force report
as soon as possible and progressively update the report as the
constituency statements come in.
Ie begin with some initial recommendations and debate them

(4) The workshops in Rome should be used for:
(a) updating the community on progress - e.g 20 minutes
(b) seek further data in response to questionnaires during a public
comment period - e.g 30 minutes
(c) use the remaining time to begin to draft some initial
recommendations

Thanks everyone for your time on the call today.

Regards,
Bruce
