2. Logistics • Password for wireless internet in the meeting room is "WRAP" and password is "Oil“ • http://www.wrapair.org/ClimateChange/GHGProtocol/meetings/090722m/

3. Project Task and Deliverable Status • Review Task 3/TCR Voluntary Protocol timeline • Discuss general timeline, meeting/call schedule • Key idea is to have the TWG continue to provide expertise and advice to mandatory and voluntary reporting protocols’ preparation

4. Beyond the current Task 2 report – what’s next?

5. Proposed path forward to move beyond Task 2 report • Steering Committee has identified need to prepare mandatory reporting protocol and analysis of methods to be used in that protocol • Primary application of that effort is to support implementation of WCI, and eventually EPA, reporting requirements • With WCI program as the initial application, logical to work on under the WCI banner to support partners in that effort

6. Proposed path forward to move beyond Task 2 report, continued • Steering Committee has identified that the current TWG would be of great assistance in developing the mandatory protocol • Likely that additional TWG representatives will be needed, to broaden “coverage” of TWG advice • Steering Committee to work on a proposal for this mandatory protocol project for consideration by WCI • Need to begin work on that proposal in next few months

7. Possible Criteria to Evaluate Methods for Mandatory Reporting Protocol • Accurate (can be verified) • Bias • Contractor-supplied? • Cost • Feasibility (i.e. technical and practical) • Method/measurement device availability • Precision • Reliability
