As you know, the Capacity Building Study Group has drafted a final report (attached), which will be presented to you during the Council Workshop in Beijing and will then be submitted for your adoption during the Council meeting later that week. You might recall that we asked for your comments/feedback by last Friday (22 March). Since we didn't receive any, we understand that the Council doesn't see any major issues with it. 

In the report, you can read that the Capacity Building Study Group is suggesting to define standing "task forces" within the Council and the Community, to be able to ensure a competent and timely response on requests that the ccNSO is receiving.

First of all, we would like to define what pools of expertise there is within the Council, which we can then build upon with skills from further community members.

Therefore, I would be grateful if you could let me know what kind of areas you think you would like to be involved in and which areas you would NOT want to deal with.

Suggested areas are:

Legal

Financial

Technical

Administrative

(You are most welcome to add any further areas!)

I would be grateful if you could let me know by Friday, 29 March which area you think would be most suitable for you.

Kind regards,

Gabi
