Dear All,

In preparation for Wednesday’s meeting (12 April at 14.00 UTC), please find attached the updated recommendations report in which we’ve aimed to reflect the current state of affairs (no full consensus on exemption procedure). In Annex A you will find the SG/C statements that have been submitted to date (BC, NCSG, RySG). Following finalization of the report, it will be submitted to the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement (CCOICI), that chartered the Task Force, for further consideration.

The proposed agenda for Wednesday’s TF meeting is as follows:

1. Welcome
2. Further comments and/or suggestions to resolve current stalemate on exemption language, if any
3. Consider proposed timeline for finalization of report:
   1. Deadline for review of draft recommendations report – 21 April
   2. Placeholder TF meeting to resolve any outstanding issues in report – 26 April
   3. Submit recommendations report to CCOICI – 28 April
4. AOB
5. Confirm next steps & action items

Best regards,

Julie & Marika
