Rosenthal, Chair, Advisory Committee on Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Date: June 2, 2006 Re: Report of the Civil Rules Advisory Committee Introduction The Civil Rules Advisory Committee met in Washington, D.C., on May 22-23, 2006. Draft minutes of the meeting are attached. Part I of this report presents action items. Subpart A recommends approval for adoption of two sets of proposals. The first is Civil Rule 5.2, the Civil Rules version of the E-Government Rules developed under direction by the Standing Committee Subcommittee on the E-Government Act. The second is the package of Style amendments - Style Rules 1-86; Style-Substance amendments to Rules 4(k), 9(h), 1 I(a),14(b),16(c)(1), 26(g)(1), 30(b), 31, 40, 71.1, and 78; Style Forms; and the Style versions of the amended rules on electronic discovery now pending in Congress and scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2006 (Rules 16, 26, 33, 34, 37, and 45). Subpart I B recommends approval forpublication of new Rule 62.1 on indicative rulings and amendments to Rules 13(f), 15(a)(amended pleadings), and 48 (jury polling). The recommendation is to publish these proposals - along with the modest amendment of Rule 8(c) approved for publication at the January meeting - at a later date, presumably August, 2007, when they can be included in a package with other proposals. Part II of this report presents information items describing the projects that are being developed for further consideration.
