The first plenary meeting of the dotforce was held in Tokyo, Japan on 27-28 November 2000. It is expected to produce its final recommendations in a report to the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy.
Participants agreed that a minimum of two additional Plenary meetings of the DOT Force would be necessary; one in February/March to review a draft of the Report, and another in Spring to review the final draft report before submission. It was also agreed that one of these meetings should be held in a developing country and another in Europe (presumably in Italy given its role as the G8 Presidency as of January 1, 2001.) The Chair took note of proposals from various members as to the possible venue of the next meeting, and informed the participants that he would make a proposal on this matter based on further consultation with parties concerned.
