2004, we published a Federal Register

individuals to serve on the Advisory

notice also announced the
establishment of the Advisory Board
and the signing by the Secretary on May
11, 2004, of the charter establishing the
Advisory Board. On January 28, 2005,
we published a Federal Register notice
announcing the appointment of eleven
individuals to serve as members of the
Advisory Board on the Demonstration of
a Bundled Case-Mix Adjusted Payment
System for ESRD Services, including
one individual to serve as cochairperson, and one additional cochairperson, who is employed by CMS.
The first public meeting of the Advisory

The Advisory Board on the
