Dear WG Members,

As noted in the draft proposed agenda you received for the RPMs PDP WG meeting on 20 May, the Co-Chairs and staff will introduce the Public Comment Review Tool for the comments from 55 contributors we received during the public comment period and review the upcoming Preliminary Work Plan.  Per the Preliminary Work Plan the Co-Chairs propose establishing two Sub Groups who will review the public comments, and provide concise summaries for the full WG:

• Sub Group A will review the comments and provide concise summaries for the full WG on the TMCH, Sunrise, TM Claims, and TM-PDDRP recommendations and questions, and 
• Sub Group B will review the comments and provide concise summaries for the full WG on the URS recommendations and questions.
• It is possible also that the Sub Groups also may be involved in reviewing the comments on the respective URS and TMCH individual proposals for their topics, although this work may be taken up in parallel by the full WG.

The Sub Groups each will meet once a week beginning next week on either Tuesday or Thursday at times determined by each Sub Group.  They are expected to meet weekly through at least July.  Once the members of the Sub Groups are established we will be seeking volunteers from those members to chair the groups.

The Co-Chairs will provide further direction on how each Sub Group will operate, but they wish to begin the process of the Call for Volunteers immediately so that membership can be established as quickly as possible and the initial meetings can be scheduled for 26 and 28 May.

Please respond to this message at your earliest convenience to indicate if you wish to join and/or chair one or both of the Sub Groups.  Further discussion of the Sub Groups is on the agenda for the WG meeting on 20 May, but please feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to the meeting.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Kind regards,

Mary, Ariel, and Julie 

On behalf of the Co-Chairs
