IPCC Task Group Proposals on Governance
Dear Department of Energy and Climate Change,
The draft report of the 32nd session of the IPCC reports the following decisions of the Panel:
“The Panel welcomed and acknowledged the recommendations and suggestions by the IAC on the IPCC’s governance and management (Chapter 4 of the IAC Report) and decided to establish an inter-sessional Task Group on Governance and Management to develop proposals related to the recommendations by the IAC and the decisions taken at the 32nd Session as listed above. The Task Group is specifically requested to address, inter alia, the issues listed in Annex II to this decision and propose amendments, including to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, and its Appendices, and other relevant documents, if necessary, by 31 January 2011. Governments will then be invited to provide comments on the proposals by 28 February 2011 to allow preparation of a revised draft for consideration and decisions by the Panel at its next Session (IPCC-XXXIII).”
I have searched the IPCC and DECC websites but cannot find the document which the Task Group on Governance and Management, of which the UK is a Co-chair, was required to be provided by 31 January 2011.
[1] Please supply me and electronic copy of it or a URL
[2] Please also supply me with copy of, or a URL, for the British government’s comments on the Task Group’s proposals. I note that the due date for this is by 28 February 2011 and would ask that if it not now held you advise me of date that it planned to be held.
[3] Please also provide me with any documented departmental instructions for deciding when, and which, IPCC documents received, sent and held by DECC are to be either published at the DECC website or clearly referenced there as available at the IPCC website in accordance with EIR regulation 4.
Yours faithfully,
David Holland
