A group of distinguished private citizens from all eight of the summit countries meets approximately three months prior to the event to discuss policy issues related to that year's summit agenda and propose policy solutions to the leaders of participating countries. During the fiscal year under review, preparations were made for the summit, scheduled to be held in Tokyo from April 10 to 12. The results of the conference will be offered to summit leaders as policy proposals and released to the media.
