Action Item: Delia will email the instructions for uploading studies/sharing files in Goggle Doc.

Redacting company name, sharing only partial data, etc. may be adequate to deal with this. Also, copyright may need to be considered. John Philips provided files for learning from past experience. Qian had emailed. Action Item: Qian will ask Paul to provide his old examples/files Delia informed us that all requests for review MUST come through AOAC. Delia and Deborah McKenzie are the contact people. New statistical member has been approved.Anli Gao (University of Guelph, Canada)
