| 9:00 am - 10:00 am | Discussion |
| Do we have the right topics for the Science
Working Groups? Is anything missing? What other groups should be brought into the APSG? | |
| 10:00 am - | Development of Science Working Group Plans |
| All attendees should participate in one of the Science Working Groups | |
| 1. | Crustal Motion and Dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau Conveners: Zong-jin Ma and Brad Hager |

Region Conveners: Wolfgang Scherer, C.K. Shum, and Alain Bonneville |
| Topics for the Working Groups to address: | |
| What can we reasonably expect from the programs
underway? What important topics have not been addressed? What would be required to address them? Are there synergies and bases for cooperation among groups that might enhance our productivity? How might we proceed? What agencies might be interested in funding some of these activities? | |
| Saturday, 16 May | |
| Working Group Reports | |
| 9:00 am - 9 :45 am | Crustal Motion and Dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau |
| 9:45 am - 10:30 am | Crustal/Tectonic Motion of the Western Pacific Volcanic-Seismic Belt |
| 10 :30 am - 11 :15 am | The Impact of Sea Level Variations on the Asia-Pacific Region |
| 11:15 am - 12:30 pm | Discussion |
| Is the current APSG Organization adequate? Where do we go from here? Resolution? | |
There are no plans to publish contributed
papers. A summary of the activities within each of the Science Working Groups
and Measurement Technique Panels will be assembled into a meeting report
and distributed to all meeting participants.
A summary report of 10 - 15 pages is required of each Working Group.
The report should address the questions posed in the Wednesday and Friday
sessions plus anything else the working Group considers relevant. Conveners
may want to include short contributions from speakers in their sessions.
A summary report of 3 - 5 pages is required of each of the Measurement
Technique Panels. The report should address the questions posed in the Thursday
session plus anything else the Panel considers relevant.
A draft of each report must be submitted at the closure of the meeting. A final version is due to Mike Pearlman by June 15.
