> If this objective is adopted, appropriate processes for handling

> 
>  *  Communicate (as early as possible) an invitation to provide input
>     documents on gathering requirements and concerns, from various
>     perspectives.
> 
>  *  Assemble a working group tasked with compiling these substantive
>     inputs into a comprehensive report.
> 
>  *  After March 1, the deadline for submitting substantive
>     contributions. The working group will draft a report on
>     requirements and concerns, noting which points require further
>     clarification.
> 
>  *  Each contributor is given the opportunity to double-check that
>     their contribution is reflected appropriately.
> 
>  *  Requests for changes / corrections which contributors have
>     submitted are processed.
> 
>  *  The working group for the substantive report tries to identify
>     what are the open points that need to be resolved before the report
>     can be adopted as describing a shared understanding of what the
>     various perspectives on this are.
> 
>  *  At the beginning of the MSM itself, the list of “open points that
>     need to be resolved” can be added to by any participant.
> 
>  *  The rest of the first day of the MSM is used for breakout sessions
>     attempting to achieve consensus resolutions for the various open
>     points.
> 
>  *  The second day is used for plenary sessions in which resolution
>     proposals are presented and hopefully consensus is achieved.
