We present a first global analysis of the 2000 Perseid meteor shower based on observations from 131 observers reporting 9622 Perseids. A tentative population index profile reveals little temporal variation and a value of r = 2.1 to r = 2.2 for the period near the maximum of the shower. The annual Perseid peak was found at lambda = 139.97 +- 0.05 deg with a heightened ZHR = 124+-13 compared with previous years. The early peak of fresh cometary material expected a few hours before the annual maximum could not be detected in 2000, according to a small number of seven reports.
