Restructure of C/AFT: The C/AFT Core Group meeting of Aug. 31, 2000 proposed to radically restructure C/AFT's Focus Groups to retarget efforts towards a more market-based approach, rather than one based on functional/operational aspects. View the Powerpoint presentation on C/AFT Restructuring that includes a mapping of the Terms of Reference to each new Focus Group, and read the Core Group minutes that explain the restructuring proposal.
