Convening the SC to a Decision Session
(Day 2 Plenary Session, after lunch)
The SC shall take the following decisions:
1) How appropriate is the approach to developing a pilot phase
workplan? What portions need to be changed in order to move on
to methods development?
2) Prioritize modules by the SC view on:
 The relevance of the scenario
 The probability of success of the work plan elements as
developed by the breakout groups
3) Take a GO / REVISE / STOP decision on each module (sanding,
abrasion, weathering) where :
7
GO:
• ITG is charged to realize the pilot lab work,

With SC acknowledgement that independent decisions will
be made on finalizing the workplan(s).
• Manufacturers Liason Group (MLG) will be
•
approached for industrially relevant samples as
proposed by work plan
SC responsible for (mainly intramural) resources
 If funding is identified through the project, it will be issued

in an open solicitation
Otherwise, with the exception of funding to coordinate the
ITG, all resources are assumed to reside in participating labs
• Further decision item: timeframe
8
STOP:
• SC NanoRelease sees no value in an interlaboratory study to develop methods.
(Are there scenarios in studies in the literature,
or being proposed for evaluation that, at this
time, would not be useful to use to develop
broadly accepted methods?)
9
REVISE:
ITG (or other SC group) charged to
• Describe unacceptable uncertainties with regard to
workplan elements, and where possible
 Propose solutions that allow a “GO” decision
 Frame proposals for study to advance the field and for
consideration by the SC
• (Note: probably by experiments, since literature is exhaustively covered
by now).
• Timeline to achieving a “GO” decision (or a STOP)
