1. A U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Laboratory Operated by The University of Chicago Argonne National Laboratory Office of Science U.S. Department of Energy APEC Project Steps EGNRET 25, Chinese Taipei October 31-Noverber 2, 2005 Cary Bloyd

2. Pioneering Science and Technology Office of Science U.S. Department of Energy 2 Implementing APEC EWG Projects 1. Propose concept at second EGNRET meeting of the year (Nov. 05) Example, use of off grid technologies from village power applications for disaster response 2. Develop two page concept proposal for submission to EWG one month prior (March 15, 06) to their first meeting of the year. 3. If EWG approves, develop full proposal for submission to BMC once month (about July `1, 06) prior to the summer BMC meeting 4. If approved, develop request for proposal (RFP) based on proposal once official approval to start project is received Jan. 1, 2007. 5. Let APEC Secretariat approve RFP, then either the Economy project overseer or APEC Secretariat sends out the RFP (Feb. 1, 07) 6. Obtain three bids, and chose the best bid, with concurrence of APEC Secretariat (April 1, 2007). 7. APEC Secretariat signs contract so work can begin (May 1, 2007) 8. Project is completed by the end of the second year (Dec. 1 2008)
