<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks to everyone who responded regarding the approach to a work plan proposed by the Leadership Team in our meeting last week and online afterwards. I understand that some of you may still have concerns about
the proposed approach but the Leadership Team decided that it might be more effective to deal with any remaining concerns as we discuss and refine a draft work plan. So we prepared a DRAFT work plan for Phase 1 and have attached it. An overview of the plan
will be provided in our WG meeting tomorrow with opportunity for questions and initial discussion. We will continue to discuss the plan on this list after tomorrow’s meeting and leading up to our Marrakech meeting on 9 March, at which time we will try to
finalize it if possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Note that whatever we finalize a work plan will have to be flexible. It will have to be updated as we go depending on our actual progress. Also note, that the details for what are now steps 13 to 15 will have
to be developed after we finalize the results of step 12 and the preceding steps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We encourage all of you to at least do a quick review of this document before our meeting tomorrow if possible. Regardless, we ask everyone to review it in detail after tomorrow’s call. If you are unable to participate
in the WG meeting tomorrow, in addition to reviewing the draft plan thoroughly, please listen to the recording of the call. We strongly request everyone to communicate your questions and comments on the list so that we can start to refine the plan online
and be try to finalize it in our meeting on 9 March.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks in advance for your cooperation and contributions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
