This document was prepared in order to support the consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) of procedures, mechanisms and institutional arrangements under the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) to allow for appeals of decisions of the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism (CDM), in response to a request by the CMP contained in paragraphs 18 to 20 of decision 3/CMP.6. This document takes into account the proposals on the matter contained in the 2010 annual report of the Executive Board of the CDM (FCCC/KP/CMP/2010/10), statutes and rules of procedure of a number of international tribunals and relevant technical literature. While the document does not attempt to provide an overview or synthesis of views expressed by Parties and intergovernmental organizations contained in document FCCC/SBI/2011/MISC.2 and the views of admitted observer organizations posted on the UNFCCC website, the issues identified therein have been also taken into account in its preparation
