** QUERY | E-DISCUSSION | E-CONSULTATION * Ongoing or Consolidated Reply under preparation Discussion is open for members of MCH Community only. To become a member please Sign Up. How Does it Work in Solution Exchange? Query-Consolidated Reply. A research service for members to obtain advice, experiences and reference material from their peers and from documented material. Turn-around time is targeted for 7 or 12 working days, depending on a one-week (“urgent”) or a two-week (normal) response period. Queries are often “cross-posted” when relevant to more than one Community, allowing for additional perspectives on an issue. The Consolidated Reply is prepared in an “executive brief” style, with a highly structured format so that its components can be indexed in a future “knowledge repository.” E-Discussion. To address and gain insights on issues of wide concern to the Community. This format is helpful to build a case for further development of policies and programmes, or to fill knowledge gaps identified by Action Group “champions” during annual meetings (see below). E-Discussions are three-week postings, and the topics are either selected through a poll of members, supported by a Community’s Resource Group as being a priority issue, or commissioned as part of an Action Group assignment. E-Consultation. For drafters of projects, programmes, plans, policies and legislation to obtain feedback from Community members as an input into finalization. Solution Exchange offers an impartial (UN-sponsored) forum for a “public hearing” on proposals, to capture new ideas and insights for the drafters to take into account. It also builds wider support and buy-in for the resulting document, since members consider themselves having been consulted in its formulation. E-Consultations are posted with a three-week response period to allow members to consult their non-member colleagues.
