Call for experts (appraisals/reviews) - third call
Background
Paragraphs 30-45 of the 
JI guidelines define the verification procedure under the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC).
The JISC is responsible for the review procedures set out in paragraphs 35 and 39 of these guidelines.
The JISC adopted the 
Procedures for reviews under the verification procedure under the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (version 03) (169 KB), based on which the JISC sets up review teams (JISC-RTs) on a case-by-case basis to assist it in conducting reviews.
The JISC also adopted the Procedures for appraisals of determinations under the verification procedure under the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (120 KB), which stipulate that two experts selected from a roster shall provide inputs to the appraisal of a determination regarding a PDD.
Based on 2 calls for experts (2006 and 2007), the JISC has established a roster of experts on which it draws with regard to inputs to the appraisals of determinations and when setting up JISC-RTs.
Call for experts (appraisals/reviews)
At its twenty-fourth meeting, the JISC requested the secretariat to launch a new call for experts participating in appraisals of determinations and/or review teams in order to increase the number of experts in the roster and to strengthen the diversity of expertise.
Considering the Terms of reference for experts appraising determinations or participating in review teams under the verification procedure under the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (118 KB), regulating, inter alia, the compensation for the tasks provided, the experts fulfilling the competence requirements listed below are invited to submit their applications. Experts already included in the roster with a framework contract signed for the year 2011 do not need to apply again.
