ESIP's Online Collaboration Tool (OCT) makes it possible for ESIP participants to:

• work together on planning, writing, and editing documents;
  
• share ideas and information with each other;
• see a calendar of ESIP meetings; and
• keep an archive of ESIP's work for future reference.

The Online Collaboration Tool consists of web pages that you can add comments to as easily as if you were using a word processor.  Click here for an introduction to using the Online Collaboration Tool.
