Deliverables with time frame:
Dates: GUTS for April and October 2008

1st Update - September 2006
Induction processes ran twice in Brussels through 2006, bringing into the GRLI over 20 new partners

2nd Update - October 2007
Agreed that Nick Ellerby would lead the design of the 24 hour 'getting up to speed' (GUTS) process prior to the Canada GA. 
The idea of a briefer process was aired at Leeds and work has resulted in a design that will involve Mark Drewell, Peggy Cunningham, Philippe de Woot and Anders Aspling.  There will be 9 of the new representatives participating in the Canada induction process.  

Nick will be working with the office of the general secretary in preparation for both April and October 2008.
