[DDI-CDG] Drafting the proposal

[Oliver Watteler]

Dear CDG!

The deadline for the proposal of our group approaches and we should be 
coming up with a draft. There is are a lot of information and ideas to 
be included with different priorities.
I contacted each of you individually today and have received first 
replies. I would propose a telephone conference on Thursday morning at 
10 a.m. (GMT +1.00 h; 11 a.m. Finland; early in the morning in the US)
to outline further steps. Since some of you are not available that day 
and the Structural Reform Group is having its regular call the same day 
every week, I would say that we make it a short call and look for a day 
that is more convenient for all (including the United States).

Maybe we could step through two organizational topics for a start:
- What are the requirements of the proposal?
- How do we use the information on the table?
I would pass on the results to all of you for addenda.

Reto allowed me to pass on the URL of the VarInfo Documentation. VarInfo 
is a database system set up by him, which includes a lot of ideas and 
concepts on how to manage comparative data, too. Here it is:

You should pay attention to the navigation bar at the top of the site.

Is everybody o.k. with this proceeding?
Greetings from Cologne,
yours Oliver.
