In order to complete the work the following steps will be taken as  
scheduled:

1 - Staff will produce a Draft Final Report that references the TF  
report, the WG charter
     and the WG report by and which includes an overall description

         The Representatives will each be responsible for soliciting
         the position of their constituencies, at a minimum, and other
         comments as each Representative deems appropriate, regarding
         the issue under consideration. This position and other  
comments,
         as applicable, should be submitted in a formal statement to the
         task force chair (each, a "Constituency Statement") within
