AC093: SSAC Comments on the Draft Recommendations of the CCWG- Accountability-WS2 on SO/AC Accountability dated 18 May 2017 In summary, the SSAC: - agrees that it would be beneficial to determine and implement those best practices which are applicable to SSAC’s structure and purpose; - does not believe it is appropriate to incorporate an implementation review into the scope of future ATRTs - suggests that it would be more appropriate to incorporate such a review into the 5-yearly independent organizational reviews; - does not support the formal “Accountability Roundtable” as proposed; - suggests a more informal approach should be adopted, which involves the exchange of views, experiences and best practices during the course of regularly scheduled meetings between SO/AC chairs only; - agrees that the IRP should not be made applicable to activities of SO/AC/Groups.
