Other organizational matters
Time allocation: The workshop comprised a three-hour session on the material day. Each Party was allocated 30 minutes on average, as follows:
a. Presentation –10 minutes per Party on average to present their BUR;
b. Question and answer –20 minutes per Party on average after each presentation.
In the event that the Party undergoing FSV received none or very few questions, the total time allocated to that Party would be shortened. Upon completion of the question and answer session for one Party, the next Party was invited to begin its presentation.
The session was also streamlined live here for Part 1 and here for Part 2 and made publicly available on the secretariat's website.
Output of the FSV: A record of the FSV, summarizing the presentation by the Party and corresponding interaction with other Parties, will be prepared, under the guidance of the SBI Chair, for each Party undergoing the FSV. This, together with the summary report, will constitute the final output of the ICA for each Party.
