Hello All, Just a quick summary of the Council decision. (1) Public comment to be extended to Monday 5 July 2004 - task forces are requested to invite interested parties to participate in a couple of open teleconferences to provide an opportunity for parties to ask questions of the task force and offer input as part of the public comment process (2) Task forces should continue to work internally to further converge their work towards the ideal 100% consensus position. NOTE: All task force members are reminded that in addition to their advocacy role on behalf of their constituencies, they are also responsible for working cooperatively with other task force members to attempt to reach an ideal consensus position on the policy. Task forces 1 and 2 should also attempt to coordinate their work so that their recommendations are consistent. (3) Task forces should identify where further implementation analysis is necessary for some recommendations before they can be finally voted on by Council (4) Reports to be updated by Monday 12 July 2004 Regards, Bruce Tonkin
