The panel sessions that comprise
the conference will consist of brief overview presentations
on each of the topics by conference participants followed
by an open discussion. The eventual size of the participant
group will be such that this format will allow ample time
for substantial give and take. Formal papers will not be requested
but where appropriate panelists will be encouraged to summarize
their current research.Panelists
will be asked to provide an outline of their remarks prior
to the conference and these will be distributed in advance.
The final session will be a completely open discussion to
develop an inventory of ideas for both research and procedural
changes in rulemaking. The time devoted to each of these panels
will vary somewhat.Proceedings
of the conference will be transcribed and edited; copies will
be provided to all conference participants and distributed
to interested parties.
