Reporting on the Panel findings
Reporting on the findings was carried out in several steps. After the Panel
meeting, a summary report on the exercise (where contributions were not
nominally attributed) was circulated to participants, for possible corrections or
additions. All members were invited to respond to this request, even if only to
state that no change were necessary.
A final Panel report was than prepared and its contents are reflected in sections
3 and 4 of the case study.
