Vote Nearing on Thomas Response to IOM Recommendations

The governing board of the California stem cell agency appears to be heading for a vote on the Thomas IOM plan, which he has agreed to place on a one-year test timetable. The plan is being described as a "framework" with details to be worked out. The proposal would be fleshed out and come back to the board in March for later action. Several board members have raised questions about the details. But Thomas and other supporters say those will have to be worked out.
