Thanks Jared.  

I don't think there is anything in the Sub Pro Final Report that supports a requirement to demonstrate "global recognition" in connection with CPE scoring.  In fact, the references in the Implementation Guidance and the rationale for same make it clear that community recognition can actually be established with the use of experts.  Please double check the work done against the Topic 34 Implementation Guidance.  In a cursory review of the Final Report, I did not see a reference to a requirement for establishing external recognition of the community.  (I am not opposed to "external recognition"  in theory, but "global" was never in our deliberations for CPE scoring as far as I know.)  Further, we need to keep in mind that the policy encouraging Community applications and Community Priority was Affirmed by the WG.
"
"Rationale for Implementation Guidance 34.4: The Working Group supports leveraging experts with knowledge of the communities in question in determining if there is the requisite “awareness and recognition” among members of the community, especially in cases where recognition of the community is not measurable (e.g., where such recognition is prevented by national law).

Rationale for Implementation Guidance 34.5: The Working Group emphasizes that the Evaluation Guidelines should not be interpreted for scoring purposes to mean that there can only be one entity to administer a community. The Evaluation Guidelines should further be clear that an organization that serves as a representative (as opposed to an administrator) of the community should be treated on equal footing with one that is administrative in nature. The Working Group believes that the Evaluation Guidelines should be clearer in this regard. "

Thank you,
Anne

Hi all,

 

As a reminder, following our discussion on Tuesday, please review the CPE draft and provide any comments on the google (redline) document linked below.

 

We will also begin work on updating based on the IRT’s feedback ahead of our next call on this topic on 29 April 2025. I understand there were also questions on CPE/Community Registration Policies on the call yesterday, and we will make sure any updates made in relation to Topic 9 will also be reflected in the CPE section, as needed/relevant.

 

Thank you

Jared
