This included an outline of the current structure of the OC and the possibility that the Working Group on Zooplankton Ecology might be incorporated into a new functional group. The evolution of the group was outlined by looking at the list of Tors discussed since its foundation nine years ago and at the list of deliverables that were produced in this period. It was also noted that the actions proposed by the group at its 2000 meeting [(i) Publication of a web page on the Zooplankton Methodological Manual and (ii) Edition of the Zooplankton Status Report] were achieved on schedule. </p>
