The Measurement and Reporting Task Team (MRTT) of
the Multistate Working Group (MSWG) has chosen the following
"charge" or mission statement to define the scope
of our work:
1) Survey the available and most practical environmental
performance reporting and measurement tools.
2) Develop a resource list of the best known methods (including
how to find the resources).
3) Develop a Guide for use of these resources, based on our
review of their value and performance, and relevance to particular
user populations.
We have also agreed the following list of three
deliverables:
1. A syllabus or listing of the environmental performance
measurement and reporting tools which we will be reviewing and
evaluating.
2. A Guide (our core tool), which helps organizations to use
the extant tools, helps them tailor their measurement and reporting
initiatives to their particular organization, and which (to
a limited extent) helps them distinguish the tools from each
other.
3. A "map" or other narrative-form document which
explains the relationship between the work of the MRTT and the
PPEMS Task Team.
As from now, we propose to deliver a draft set of
our documents to MSWG during the Autumn meetings in Nebraska,
take broad input from the entire MSWG thereafter, and to finalize
our work products by the time of the Spring 2003 Meetings. The
links on these pages are being provided to support the work
of the Task Team. Please direct all suggestions and correspondence
to NDEMS@unc.edu
