Secondly, gille me a few days and I'll come up with several US nominees, all of whom will have either European experience or a European perspective. Thirdly, let's consult about possible Chinese candidates.

Although it took a while to soak through my cranium, I agree with her suggestion. Lynn, Sorry about misunderstanding your point.

ThaI's why I said it may be asking for too much. -----Original Message----- I From: Beatty, Patrick (PWBE) [SMTP:PWBE@chevron.coml ISent: Friday, September DB, 2000 12:22 PM To: 'Iynn.b.russo@exxon.com' Subject: RE: Core bioethics group Lynn, :-J I thought about that issue, and came to the conclusion that for this core group to be of manageable size it should not exceed three and I thought it HAZ-SHA-000061 more important to have a Chinese representative than one from Europe. agree that we should try to have Eurpoean representation on the full ethics review board. One practical consideration; if we have US, Chinese and Europeans on Ihe review board any conference caJis would mean someone is on the call in the middle of the night. I am open to attempts at persuasion. Patrick -----Original Message----From: .

That may be asking too much, so I leave it to you if you want to propose that. IFrom: -----Original Message----Beatty, PatrickJPWBE) [SMTP:PWBE@Chevron:cofri]; ",,' :.'

There was discussion of forming a core bioethics group could later expand into the ethics review board proposed as part of the consortium structure) that would work with the investigators during protocol development. I would like to propose that you identify two or three candidates from the US, one of which would serve with you on this HAZ-SHA-000062 core group (assuming, of course, that you would like to continue your association with the project). I believe that we should add a third member who could represent Chinese interests in the near future. Identification of the latter member would require some pOlitical sensitivity, and Dr. Fu would need to have significant input into the choice of that person. Given our current timetable, I do not believe that we can raise the issue with him until mid-October when Drs. Irons, Wong and I meet with Dr. Fu et aI., to discuss a number of administrative and logistics issues. protocol Please let me know soon if you agree. so that we can advance development.
