Work Plan and Budget: At their meeting in March, the WRAP approved a budget of $2.14 million. The proposal under development right now will be only slightly different from that, and Coordinating Group will ask WRAP for authorization to complete and submit the work plan and budget revision. Shawn will distribute a new draft of Section 2 of the work plan on 9-9; comments should be returned to John Leary by 5 PM on 9-10. John will send out an amended version early next week if there are no serious conflicts among the comments, and it will be considered at the Coordinating Group meeting in Salt Lake City on 9-16. It may be presented to the WRAP for approval if the CG is satisfied it is complete and accurate.

Other Issues: Bill Auberle noted that the International Projects Committee will meet late in October in Flagstaff in conjunction with an international conference. The Committee will hear presentations regarding international projects already underway.

Bill Auberle will send out a draft agenda for the Coordinating Group meeting on 9-16. One item will be consideration of final approval of the Communication Plan distributed for comment earlier.

Al will work with the Web Site Subcommittee to budget the changes in the Web site which were approved earlier.
