At its fourteenth meeting, the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) decided to develop a determination and verification manual (DVM) under joint implementation (JI) as a means to provide guidance to independent entities and JI project developers regarding determinations and verifications. At its sixteenth meeting, the JISC considered the first draft DVM prepared by the secretariat in consultation with selected JISC members, and requested the secretariat to prepare a second draft in consultation with selected JISC members, and launch a call for public inputs on the second draft for four weeks. This call has been launched and will be open for inputs until 16 September 2009 (see ).
