I would like to submit this following edit regarding this part :

"Obviously, any such communications would need to respect reasonable
restrictions like the review teams’ adherence to the Chatham House rule, and the SO/ACs should be expected to exercise prudence and to only make use of the opportunity when it is necessary to support the teams and/or convey major concerns."

with that one

"It is expected that any communications or other input sought and received will be provided in good faith, and that SOs/ACs will exercise prudence and make use of the opportunity when it is necessary to support the teams and/or convey major concerns. In exceptional circumstances, a SO or AC, the review teams or members thereof may consider it necessary to subject such communications or other input to reasonable restrictions such as the Chatham House rule, and where this is the case, the relevant parties to the affected communication or input shall, as far as possible, be informed in advance."

I would accept this as a friendly amendment. Stephan, as the seconder of the motion, would you also accept it as friendly?

Glen - please add this amendment to the motion.

On behalf of the ISPCP constituency I'd like to suggest the
following edit regarding "Support Teams" (ST).
The draft amendment attached is targeted to provide more
flexibility to the Review Teams in order to let themselves
organize their support teams rather than to constitute
support teams in advance.

Looking forward to a fruitful discussion Wolf-Ulrich

Thanks Wolf. If you could propose a suggested edit, it would
be very helpful.

Following a consultation within the ISPCP constituency I'd like to
address the creation of "Support Teams" (ST). There must be a clear
distinction between the RTs and potential STs in order to avoid STs
emerging to "shadow" RTs. So the composition of the ST pools has
carefully to be taken into consideration or should even be
regulated.
If applicable this should be expressed in the council response.

Apart from that the ISPCP constituency endorses the draft response.
