Agreement Sponsorship Policy Sample Clauses

Agreement Sponsorship Policy. 5.3.1 The Executive Secretary presented a draft policy on the process to be followed for the sponsorship of delegates (AC7 Doc 18) for the consideration and advice of the Advisory Committee. It was noted that at MoP4 several delegations expressed a desire to have a policy developed to provide transparent guidance on the sponsorship of delegates and experts to meetings. The Secretariat was requested by MoP4 to develop a draft policy in the intersessional period for its consideration at MoP5. 5.3.2 Argentina noted that the proposed criteria for Parties to pay the per diem costs for sponsored delegates presented difficulties under their administrative requirements and they stated that sponsorship should cover all costs. Under criterion 5, Argentina would prefer some flexibility in the case that there were exceptional circumstances. Under the proposed application criteria it was considered that the requirement to advise the name of the sponsored delegate 90 days in advance was excessive and that 60 days would be preferable. A number of delegations supported this suggestion.

Australia also proposed that cost-effectivess should be one factor when considering selecting experts, e.g. taking advantage of local expertise. Under the proposed selection process, it was suggested that the Executive Secretary and the Chair of the Advisory Committee undertake assessments jointly. 5.3.4 France suggested that the selection criteria should be more clearly defined and that it should use the UN scale. France agreed with the proposal that the sponsored delegate’s per diem be paid by their Party. It was suggested that selection criteria 1.2.5 be reworded more precisely to read, “If the Party has used properly the funds provided previously.” 5.3.5 Peru agreed with Argentina that partial funding was not preferred and that 90 days advice of the sponsored delegates name was too early.

Agreement Sponsorship Policy. 7.17.1 The Executive Secretary introduced MoP5 Doc 27 concerning the development of a sponsorship policy for delegates and experts. MoP4 had requested the Secretariat to develop a draft policy on this issue in the intersessional period for consideration at MoP5. 7.17.2 The Secretariat presented an initial draft of this policy for the input of the Advisory Committee, which included selection criteria, an application procedure and a process for assessment (AC7 Doc 18 and AC8 Doc 22). A number of amendments were proposed at both AC7 and AC8, which have been incorporated into MoP5 Doc 27. Some issues remain unresolved and were submitted for the consideration of MoP5. 7.17.3 Australia considered that the overarching criteria for the sponsorship of experts is provided at item 3.1.1, which indicates the importance of considering whether the person’s expertise would best aid the work of the meeting in achieving a successful outcome. 7.17.4 Australia suggested, consistent with building regional capacity, that the policy on sponsorship of experts would benefit from a criterion that preferred sponsorship of experts with relevant expertise who are available regionally, where the meeting under the Agreement is held. 7.17.5 MoP5 agreed to adopt the sponsorship policy following the incorporation of a number of amendments. The adopted policy is shown in MoP5 Doc 27 Rev 1.
