Targeted Meetings
Many groups, individuals, associations, and industry and community stakeholders requested targeted meetings with the Panel. In total, 23 such meetings were held between October of 2013 and May of 2014. The Panel is greatly appreciative of the time taken by so many to meet with the Panel and contribute to its process.
The following are summary notes from each meeting. These summaries do not try to express the full range of the discussion. Instead, the intent is to ensure transparency and provide a high level overview of the topics that were discussed in each meeting. Attached to the notes for meetings, where written submissions or slides were presented to the Panel, are a copy of the submissions or the slides.
