6. Overall Guidelines (1) FDA/PhUSE CSS Working Group concept is a new frontier to meet the FDA needs. – Not Just a single meeting, but an on-going work effort throughout the year – Processes and tools still need work… Contribute with the Spirit of Collaboration among the participants (FDA, industry, academia, vendors, CROs, etc…) FDA representatives are here to contribute and meet the goals of the group – The views and opinions expressed by the FDA representatives are those of the individual and should not be attributed to the FDA or considered policy statements. Industry and Vendors – Do not use this forum as a marketing opportunity. Therefore, no advertizing or discussion of products All participation is on a volunteer basis from the “day job” – You are not limited to one Working Group, but at this meeting stick to one – Give what you can either during the meetings or assignments – The more participation (constructive) means a better industry-wide solution

7. Overall Guidelines (2) Incorporate other initiatives working in the same space to leverage their work for a common solution Solutions may take on many different forms – Recommendations, guidelines, templates, data exchange standards, process map, testing, etc… Group will schedule of conference calls after this meeting with face to face meetings as needed Group may break up into subgroups to focus and get more done Tools for the groups – List server to distribute emails to the group list – Wiki to centrally store related information and documents
