Chair: Malcolm Atkinson |
| | 1400hrs | Plenary session: Initiating the Working Groups
There will be 6 working groups that will operate in parallel. Each will have a leader, a scribe and reporter. Each will address a theme and identify the issues within that theme. They may raise issues for the other working groups.
Their goal is to resolve issues sufficiently so that they can:
1. Identify a potentially successful strategy for addressing them.
2. Suggest the priorities with which they should be addressed within their group.
3. Prepare a chapter of the final report which conveys their assessment of issues, strategy and roadmap successfully.
Allocate issues raised during planning and during the morning's experience stories to groups.
