Recruit task force members in April and May 1996. Initiate activities, as time and budget allow, after May 1996. Develop a strategic options paper, a timing guideline and funding plan for the Montreal Congress in October 1996. Aim for first level products by midterm meeting in Albany in October 1997. The Task force members are from the WCPA membership.
Representation is from as broad a geographical area as possible.
Representation for park management agencies, academic institutions, tourism companies and non-governmental organisations is encouraged. Formal contact with allied organisations is important. The Task force functions as a widely dispersed group of interested individuals who provide advice and project supervision. The chair provides leadership and coordination. Funding for individual activities will be sought through the IUCN and at national levels where appropriate.
