May 9, 2008 GETAC Meeting re: Committee Re-structure

[Guest guest]

As a follow-up to those who were at last Friday's meeting, and as an FYI

to those who were unable to attend...per GETAC Chair Ed Racht MD and

Vice Chair Pete Wolf, here's the updated action plan regarding the

proposed GETAC Committee re-structure:

1. The status quo continues for all existing committees through the

August 13-14 meetings.

2. The Disaster/Emergency Preparedness Task Force remains a task force

for its June meeting, and then moves to committee status and will be

scheduled to meet along with the other GETAC committees in August.

3. At the August 15 GETAC Council meeting, the agenda will reflect the

revised Committee structure (which includes a total of 10 committees)

and GETAC procedural rules will be rolled out for final review and

comment.

4. Changes will be given final approval at the GETAC Council meeting in

November 2008. After that, new members for committees will be solicited

and appointments will be announced at the February 2009 GETAC Council

meeting.
