At its fifteenth meeting, the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) discussed guidance on PoA and the scope of a DVM, and adopted a draft guidance on PoA and the scoping document for DVM, respectively. Following this, the JISC requested the secretariat to launch a call for public input on the draft guidance on PoA and a call for public input seeking to provide texts of the contents of a DVM for consideration by the JISC at its sixteenth meeting.

The JISC, at the same meeting, also requested the secretariat to organize roundtable consultations on DVM and PoA, to be held in Bonn, Germany, on 16 June 2009, and to ensure an appropriate and balanced participation of involved stakeholders. Based on this, the secretariat launched the call, seeking expressions of interest to participate in the roundtable.
