• developing a more robust conceputal model supporting the intended purpose of the next version of the Report on the Environment,
• developing revised indicator criteria for the Report on the Environment, and
• options for a more systemmatic treatment of uncertainty in the Report on the Environment.

Ms. Chestnut is one of 22 experts from the United States and Canada selected to participate on this committee.

The first meeting will be held in June.
