March 31 is the deadline for interested parties to submit comments on how the G3 draft is shaping up via the web-based form found on www.grig3.org. For convenience, a PDF version of this form is also available so that respondents can view the form in its entirety before logging on. Due to the volume of responses, comments can only be submitted via the web-based form. The GRI is encouraging people to review the G3 draft and its associated indicator protocols and submit comments and ideas on how they can be improved. The comments will shape the final version of the Guidelines – due for launch in October 2006.
 
GRI has also launched a G3 online discussion forum, accessible at http://www.grig3.org/discussion.html, in response to stakeholders’ requests for more opportunities to network with others interested in the GRI and sustainability reporting. People are invited to submit comments, questions, and experiences, through this forum. All discussions will be facilitated by the GRI Secretariat. The comments posted in this forum will not be considered as input into the Public Comment Period for the G3.
