    4. The charge to the Subcommittee on Structure and Content was reviewed. In response to input from faculty development directors and students this task force will refocus on the issue of content review. The revised charge (Attachment 4) was accepted.

    5. A Structural Framework for Developmental Stage 1 was developed (Attachment 5). This will be presented to Faculty Council for approval.

    6. The concept of a Curriculum Renewal Project website was discussed. A framework (Attachment 6) was accepted.

      The website will be implemented if access can be limited to College of Medicine students and faculty. If possible, a separate mailbox for email responses will be established.

    7. Student membership on the Task Force was discussed in light of the fact that the committee work will be ongoing and Mr. Chang and Ms. Hill will be graduating. Attempts will be made to identify two current third-year students who can begin participation immediately and overlap for continuity with the current student members.
