DNAs’ Proposal for enhanced interaction with the EB

                                               

                                                  

The interaction between CDM EB and DNAs is not sufficient at present but there are some procedures already in place enabling DNAs to forward questions to CDM EB, in a written form.- Suggestion: written questions to the EB and the answers from EB to

these questions should be published at DNA extranet (transparency and accessibility of information)

To improve communication, certain questions could also be transmitted via new channel, through DNA Forum by means of co-chairs’ participation in EB meetings.

DNA forwarding question has to provide all relevant information.

If the questions refer to the already existing guidelines/tools/methodologies, they should be answered by the Secretariat

Specific Recommendations

                                               

                                                  

The existing channels of direct communication should be maintained as well as thru written questions. Questions should not be limited to pre-agreed issues only.

Regional meetings among DNAs should be more often with occasional involvement of other stakeholders (e.g. DOEs)

More regional DNA meetings in order to have more opportunity to discuss problems  face to face and to submit those issues thru the Co‐Chair in  order to inform the CDM EB.   Every country  still has the the right to raise some issues to EB by it  is own.
