ACTION: National Conversation Work Group Reports Posted for Public Comment

[Guest guest]

 

Today through September 20th, National Conversation on

Public Health and Chemical Exposures draft work group reports are available

for public comment at www.resolv.org/nationalconversation.

Six work group reports are posted, one on each of the following

cross-cutting public health and chemical exposures topics:

Chemical Emergencies

Education and Communication

Monitoring

Policies and Practices

Scientific Understanding

Serving Communities

Please plan to submit separate comments on each work group

report of interest to you. (Comments on the National Conversation

process generally and the Leadership Council’s action agenda will be collected

in December 2010.) Work groups look forward to receiving constructive comments

that will help strengthen their reports and the recommendations contained within

them. Comments will be accepted through September 20, 2010. Visit the RESOLVE

website for further instructions.

Next Steps

Following the public comment

period, National Conversation work groups will finalize their reports.

The National Conversation Leadership Council will draw on work group

reports as well as the results of public input received through other forums in

authoring the action agenda. The Leadership Council’s draft action agenda will

be available for public comment in December 2010. Final work group reports,

including recommendations, will be appended to the action agenda.
