The following table presents the initial Working Group
compositions as decided in Santiago Chile. Coordinators
should submit on May 2011 their final composition, to-
gether with a tentative working plan. In the table you may
find the progress until now (May 2011). We are expecting
their feedback in the coming week. On May 2012 during
the TC203 Second PBD conference in Taormina-Italy the
first evaluation of the actions will be presented and updated
if necessary.
