Transparency Public Meeting Structure and Format

We are seeking advice on the best way to structure the June 24, 2009 public meeting on transparency.

The agency typically organizes public meetings by the order in which presenters submit their speaking requests to the agency. This approach has varied results as it can be difficult to locate a particular meeting or to review comments associated with a particular topic after the meeting. We have come up with additional options below for organizing the June 24 public meeting and we are interested in your input.

• By Product (e.g., drugs/biologics, medical devices, foods, cosmetics, dietary supplements)
  
• By Agency Action (e.g., review of product applications and product approvals, enforcement actions, recalls, public education and outreach to stakeholders)
• By Question posed in the Federal Register notice

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Oh - and of course nanotechnology should also come up, as this is finding its way into more of our food, cosmetics, and our drugs. Soon, EVERY tablet, capsule, etc, will have a nanotech code on it "for identification".

Hey SS~

Wish I could be jubilant about this....I hope it's a beginning of something good, though.

I wonder how long the 'transparency' task force has been in operation and how transparent things will be to the public. The comments were good, I thought.

Right.... yet they don't have to let people know that the food they buy in the supermarkets are bio-engineered.
