The following topic areas will be discussed in both stakeholder meetings:


* Measuring and reporting Maine-specific information, 38 M.R.S. 1615(3)(B)
* Improving the reporting process, 38 M.R.S. 1615(4)(B)
* Post-consumer recycled content verification, 38 M.R.S. 1615(4)(C)

Stakeholders will have the opportunity to provide their perspective, as well as suggest specific language.
