1. Poloff passed reftel data on ISN/WMDT and DTRA plans to
launch a second generation GI Information Portal (GIIP),
along with a request to update contact information, to Mohan
Mathews, Australia's principal Global Initiative Point of
Contact, on October 15. Mr. Mathews, who is the Executive
Officer for the Counter-Terrorism Coordination Section,
Counter-Terrorism Branch, Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade, reconfirmed that he remains the GIIP Partner Nation
Liaison for Australia. He also confirmed he is responsible
for performing the tasks mentioned in refs A and B; that
Australia has an active GIIP account; and that a new log-on
for recently appointed Counter-Terrorism Ambassador Bill
Paterson has been requested but not yet approved by the GIIP
administrator.


2. In an e-mail on October 15, Mr. Mathews confirmed the
foregoing and noted he had forwarded an updated list of
Australian GI points of contact to the GIIP administrator,
copying Molly Sergio and Sarah Prescott. Embassy Canberra's
GI Coordinating Officer data remains unchanged.

GI Exercise Planning Group in Washington, D.C.
