volunteers, which may include members of the earlier group and/or new
volunteers to:
·        Review the study recommendations offered through the public
comment period and the studies requested by the GAC and, based on those
recommendations and that request, prepare a concise list of hypotheses.
·        Deliver a report containing the above with any supporting
rationale to the Council within 6 weeks.
·        The Council will then decide whether any potential studies
should be further considered, and if so, identify hypotheses that it
would like the staff to determine cost, feasibility, potential
methodology, and estimated time frames for testing.”

·        “Summary of Public Suggestions on Further Studies of WHOIS
