Update by Matt MacLeod

The first issue of the SETAC Globe in the new format arrived in my mailbox today.  The amount of space allocated to news from the advisory groups has been drastically reduced in the new format.  We will only have approximately one paragraph in each issue!  The idea is that advisory group news will be posted online in the SETAC Communities web forum instead.  So, in the future I will be posting news about the FEMAG in the SETAC Communities Forum and also on this website (for the benefit of people who aren't SETAC members and aren't able to access the forum).  I have added links on the left to the Forum...

Today I submitted the proposed new mandate for the SETAC FEMAG to the director of the SETAC Science Committee and the SETAC Executive Director.  The version of the mandate that was submitted can be accessed from the link on the left.  Thanks to Joe DePinto, Don Mackay and Tom McKone for volunteering to serve on the Steering Committee of the new Fate and Exposure Modeling Advisory Group!

Welcome to the new FEMAG homepage!  We are currently in the process of renewing the mandate of the Fate and Exposure Modeling Group by making a formal application to the SETAC World Council.   The proposed mandate can be viewed by clicking on the link on the site navigation bar at left.  Feedback or suggestions to the proposed mandate can be made by emailing me at setacfemag@gmail.com.  If you would like to make editorial suggestions to the document itself, you can download a version as a Microsoft Word document and return it by email.  The proposed mandate has been prepared based on SETAC's Guidelines for Advisory and Dialogue Groups.

As part of our new mandate the FEMAG is required to appoint a Steering Committee who will take responsibility for organizing scientific sessions at SETAC conferences and co-ordinating the activities of the group.  Send an email if you are interested in participating as a member of the Steering Committee.
