A new Performance Review and Development (PRD) system will be adopted. Circulars announcing the details as well as the PRD Guide and the review report forms are available at the Personnel Office website ( http://perntc.per.cuhk.edu.hk/personnel/ ) . Reviewers are requested to complete the 2006–07 review report on respective reviewees. Before meeting with the reviewee, the reviewer should submit the preliminary review report (with Sections I and II completed) to the unit head to see if moderation is required, for the purpose of maintaining a consistent standard of review among different teams of the unit. The reviewer should then work out and inform the reviewee, preferably in a meeting, of the targets/requirements of performance (including the weighting assigned to each area of accountability) for the ensuing (2007–08) period of review. It is advisable that these be recorded in a new review form for that year. If there are any subsequent changes in the targets, accountabilities, or weightings, etc. during the review period, the reviewer should communicate the changes to the reviewee. Upon completion of the review exercise, the reviewer will make copies of the endorsed 2006–07 review report for retention by himself/herself and the reviewee. The original review report should be kept by the unit for record. Enquiries relating to the PRD system may be directed to the respective appointment teams of the Personnel Office. 1. 本刊每月出版兩期，農曆新年和暑期停刊。截稿日期 載於本刊網頁（ www.cuhk.edu.hk/iso/newslter/ ） 。 The CUHK Newsletter is published on a fortnightly basis except during the Chinese New Year and summer vacation.
