== Points discussed and raised ==
  *Use CRI for the Chulabhorn Research Institute in all places except the first appearance.
  *We will use similar outline to Princeton. A chapter about rDNA can be added.
  *Make sure to have the responsibilities of each component in agreement with the draft for Occupational Health and Safety (prepared by Daam), if there is a change we will change later.
  *Regarding the project approval, Biosafety subcommittee will review a give recommendation and send to safety committee.
  *Biosafety sub committee will meet once a month to consider the proposal if there is any.
  *We will not identify where medical assistance can be acquired if needs.
  *We will propose a full time safety officer at CRI.
  *Sumitra informed that most of the manual we consider contained similar wording, which might be from CDC or NIH or WHO.
  *Appendix: should add the list of infectious agents, type of rDNA work
