PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Dual Path Reduce Leftover Paint and Management Costs – Pilot Projects and Initiatives Begin to Develop Sustainable Financing System to Manage Leftover Paint

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Proposal Proceed with pilots/initiatives to reduce leftover paint management costs (2-3 years). Delay development of financing system for 18 months.

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Proposal Form Third Party Organization (TPO) to manage pilots/initiatives. Allows for testing potential future management model TPO membership comprised primarily of manufacturers with multi-stakeholder advisory panel.

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Proposal Develop fund with sole purpose being to run pilots. Primary source is manufacturers. Possibly supplemented by other funds. TPO manages fund. Ensures level playing field Fosters flexibility Pilots/initiatives and TPO are experiments for potential future expansion.

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Proposal Dialogue group would still need to agree on: Pilots/initiatives that TPO would manage. Geographic locations of pilots/initiatives. Budgets, staffing plans, and timelines of pilots/initiatives. Amount of funding needed. Performance metrics and evaluation criteria for pilots/initiatives – define “success.” Composition of TPO.

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Proposal TPO has flexibility to manage pilots. TPO could also: Research uncertainties (cost, volume, extent of infrastructure, etc.) Test additional pilots Dialogue group meets every 6 months. Development of financing system resumes after 18 months (prior discussion possible).

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Questions for Group Discussion What should be the performance metrics and evaluation criteria for the pilots/initiatives? What is a reasonable timeframe for getting results from pilots/initiatives? What entity is best suited to be the TPO? What should be the governance structure of TPO?

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Additional Questions What should be the realm of TPO decision- making authority? What are the TPO decision-making protocols? Does TPO report to dialogue group or is it independent? At what point do we assess performance of TPO?

PSI Paint Product Stewardship Meeting Washington DC June 29-30, Additional Questions What should be the mission of the TPO? What should be the mechanism for the TPO mission to change over time? How would a TPO work? Who would manage TPO? Does TPO need to be incorporated?
