Appendix A:
Communications Strategy Guidance Table


Communications strategy development work carried out in 1999 and 2000 identified various GEN communications options. The work culminated in a recommendation that GEN officials should consider and integrate a range of communications elements into the five-year Strategic Plan. Consequently, a decision was made at the 2000 AGM that, on a selective and budget available basis, appropriate communication components should be determined and included in each year's annual work program. Various components or elements are identified in the table below and linked with the intended audiences.
