Central presentations
• Stream leaders present an overview of the
purpose and methods of the relevant
measure, and the main issues for
consideration. Broadly based, drawing
from multiple jurisdictions.
• Morning tea provides an opportunity for
delegations to determine how to divide
their personnel between the workshops,
following the introductory presentations.
Workshops
• For each stream, lead and supporting nations will
present
– the main features of their national scheme;
– perceived shortcomings;
– issues and lesson learnt.
• Other participating nations are also invited to do so.
• There is then an opportunity for discussion in detail of
issues and, where desired, small group and one-on-one
discussion. Each workshop is to formulate a summary of
main points/recommendations for the Summation.
