<br />project options should chosen for further development.
<br />Ms. Hai said this Committee appreciated the attendance and participation in the discussion
<br />at this meeting by the Chairs of the SC, AC, and PBC. She then asked each of this

<br />Ms. Steigerwald provided the Committee the draft outline for the SCÈs actions at its meeting
