Chuck, your E-Mail just crossed my related amendment suggestion. If there is no real chance for consensus until the "final" report shall be provided then the amendment is not necessary.

My understanding from my limited monitoring of the VI PDP WG email list is that discussions are still ongoing as to whether it will be called a final report as well as whether there will be continued effort to reach consensus on any items. I would rather not set expectations that may not be met without direction from the WG. Also, it seems to me that 18 November could very well be after the posting of the next version of the applicant guidebook because, if there is a 30-day comment period leading up to the Cartagena Board meeting, it probably would need to posted not later than 9 November. If my estimates are correct, it would seem to be too late for any consensus items to be considered for inclusion in the posted guidebook. Regarding the latter point, I have communicated this issue to the WG co-chairs.

VI WG <<Motion - VI Board Response 29 Sep 10.doc>> In response to the Board retreat resolution regarding VI and in order to meet the 8-day advance requirement for motions, I am submitting this motion and would appreciate a second. Please forward this to your SGs and constituencies to determine support for the motion on 7 October. I am not opposed to other ways of accomplishing this, but thought that a motion is a clear way to kick it off. Chuck
