prevent) "dropping" of pending actions, the following steps are recommended:

• See above items on bureau reports and outgoing cable tracking

• Notebook for coordinators and bureau reps should be passed to next shifts
• Bureau reps and coordinators should fully brief replacements on all pending action
items and other pressing issues before departing. task force room.
• Bureau reps should pass media play reports to Deputy Coordinator &
Coordinator. They should flag intervening anecdotes about foreign donors for
them as well.
• Bureau reps who draft acceptance cables should know that they may use previous
cables to their region as templates. The EUR bureau rep should make sure to
include the boilerplate language for NATO and Partnership for Peace states about
the EADRCC (Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordinator Center).

Dear Colleagues.

Attached is the latest version of the Donor Matrix. This document should fulfill two purposes. One, it should provide the
Department a comprehensive list of foreign offers of assistance. The document should also raise/flag issues which need
to be followed-up.

To keep this document up-to-date, the Task Force requests that Desk Officers review and update the information. Please
do NOT make changes to the excel spreadsheet; instead, edits should be submitted, via email, to the task force. The
email should indicate whether the edit is a new submission or an update. (The subject line should read EDIT FOR THE
DONOR MATRIX - NAME OF COUNTRY.) .

Task force requests submissions by NOON TODAY; late submission may not get incorporated in time for the 3 PM
update.

Cheers,
Hurricane Katrina Task Force

They can also make a donation directly to the Red Cross for disaster relief. If they want to make the donation
through the USG, then they have to wait for the cable with the fiscal information.

Alain,

I heard that you'll be replacing Michelle Harris' role regarding the Katrina Working Group. I've been asked to maintain the
overall offers matrix and have been updating it according to Michelle's updates. Here are a few notes regarding the latest
"International Offers of Assistance Summary:'

• The matrix does not have a record of the Micronesia and The Holy See offers. Please provide the details of
these offers.
• Serbia and Montenegro are-listed separately, but are recognized by DoS as one nation
• Urug\Jay is misspelled (replace the "a" with a "u") .

Finally, when cables are sent regarding offers, it's really helpful if you let me know the corresponding MRN #'s.

Thanks and I look forward to working with you.
