OPRC-HNS Technical GroupWay Forward

• Rules for Discussion
• All concepts are good - no editing
• Concepts can be ideas, issues, guides
• Consider All Topics
• Later, we will determine if they are already
  covered properly
• Resources are not an issue
• We are the managing representatives of our
  nations
• We are not the experts on every topic
• We will get the experts when needed
• We are not original researchers
• We will search the public field of knowledge for
  the proper information
• We manage the issues
