5. We finally recommend that the MTCU form a Practitioner Committee of literacy field representatives to act as a sounding board, touchstone and conduit to the field in relation to the above tasks. The committee would represent the field and inform the MTCU with advice, guidance and insights to help implement a smoother transition.

Initial Workplan

Although the above may seem overwhelming, we are suggesting that the MTCU initially take a careful and deliberate approach to the task. We are initially proposing the following phases to structure the work plan.

• A Design/Confirmation Phase; and
• A Pilot Phase

The Design/Confirmation Phase

The essential purpose of this phase is to form the Resourcing, Governance and Coordination Committee, finalize the work plan and confirm and document all TRPs. The tasks for this phase include the following.

Task 1

Identify membership of the Resourcing, Governance and Coordination (RGC) Committee

Task 2

Convene the RGC Committee

Task 3

Finalize the work plan

Task 4

Determine the cost of implementing the work plan

Task 5

Identify participants for TRP confirmation focus groups

Task 6

Convene at least two TRP confirmation focus groups

Outcomes: Identification and description of all final TRPs
