From: Sent: To: Subject: Attach: Clegg, Patsy M SCC-CHSE-PC Tuesday, September 18, 2001 7:46 PM (GMT) Cagen, Stuart Z SCC <szcagen@Shel1.Com>; Tsai, Shan SP SHLOIL-SPS <sptsai@Shell.Com> FW: Oversight committee Conference Call - 3:00 PM EDT Wednesday, Sept 19 SRP-Status 18Sept2001.pdf Stu and Shan, Please try to be on the call and provide me your opinions before the call tomorrow. I will take the call on my cell phone, because I will be on my way to the doctor. I told Lorraine today that my personal expectation is that 4 plus 2 sets of comments is inadequate. My view of a quorum is a minimum of 51 % of the 12 and more preferably the 2/3 that we require of the oversight committee. I did, however, make it quite clear that was my personal, gut reaction and that Shell's official opinion would be offered after the 3 of us talked. Stu, is it possible for you to call in and participate on a call with Shan and me tomorrow morning. Let me know if you get this in time. If not, I will rely on Shan's opinion. You two seem to be in agreement on this stuff.

Agenda I. Filling the Epidemiologist Position (the options below are from Patrick Beatty's previous e-mail) 1.) Try to find another epidemiologist who can serve on the SRP and hope that person can prepare comments on the protocols within two weeks. If not, comments at a later date if not too extensive could be incorporated into the protocols without necessitating resubmittal to the IRB process. 2.) Contact Dr. Delzell and attempt to change her mind about the protocol review. 3.) Revisit Dr. Delzell's history and reconsider her as a full SRP member in the hopes that she would consent and finish the protocol review. II. Filling the Statistician Position - Kenneth Kopecky has declined to participate III. Is the Hematopathologist Position critical to a protocol review. SHELL-MCCLURG-051833 IV. Establishing a definition of a quorum for the protocol review. Does it include participating via telephone and/or providing written remarks, or does the participant need to be physically present to be counted? Do all areas of expertise need to have someone present (either in person or via phone)? Best regards, George M.
