WORKING GROUPS
A range of themes was proposed at the Helsinki Plenary; these have been reviewed by the Co-ordination Group and endorsed by the Steering Committee. As the work of a particular group is completed it is duly closed but can be re-started at any point, as new issues arise and the demand exists. Following a review of WGs by the Co-ordination Group in 2004, particularly of their structure and focus, and of the method of working and managements of the WGs, the current operational groups are as follows (with their group leaders indicated, plus e-mail link):
