This is being done through discussions based upon Discussion or Position Papers developed by one, or a few, delegations, which have a particular expertise or experience with the contaminant concerned.

(After that stage many project plans unfortunately tend to disappear and are forgotten.) More importantly, the project plan tells and continually reminds the members of the project team of the purpose of the whole project, what their roles and tasks are and what exactly they have to provide at what time in order to make the project a success.
