• Donovan welcomed participants. He drew attention to the absence of a long-standing member, Kjartan Magnusson due to illness. The SWG wished him a speedy recovery and looked forward to his participation at the next meeting. Donovan reported on discussions at the last Commission meeting. He had presented the Bowhead SLA and scientific aspects of the Aboriginal Whaling Scheme to the Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling Sub-Committee of the Commission. Details can be found in IWC (2003b, pp. 62-75). He had stressed to the Commission that from a purely scientific perspective, the Bowhead SLA represented the best tool for providing management advice to the Commission on the bowhead whale harvest. Several delegations had congratulated the Committee on its work. However, some delegations wished for more time to fully consider the other aspects of the scheme. In conclusion, the Commission `endorsed and adopted the Bowhead SLA' but required more time to consider other aspects of the scheme.
