In the context of the WIM Review Event, breakout group discussions will help stimulate interactive and participatory discussions, in line with the Terms of Reference of the review, on progress on implementing the workplan of the Executive Committee of the WIM, as well as its long-term vision that guides ways in which the Warsaw International Mechanism may be enhanced and strengthened, as appropriate. Breakout group discussions will feed into a broader discussion in plenary, which will in turn help inform the review undertaken by the subsidiary bodies.
Breakout group discussions will take place during sessions 2 and 3 of the event, which will be facilitated by a moderator. Individuals will be randomly assigned to a group in order to ensure that all discussions benefit from a diversity of views. Each breakout group is asked to address all three guiding questions within the time allotted.
Groups will have the opportunity to report back during session 4. To facilitate this process, each breakout group is requested to nominate a rapporteur to report highlights of the discussion during session 4.
