Considering the lessons learned from the first regional accreditation workshop, the Board decided to:

(a) Request the UNFCCC secretariat to:

(i) Consider extending the remaining regional accreditation workshops from two days to three days;

(ii) Invite NIEs to attend and make presentations at the accreditation workshops being held in their regions;

(iii) Ensure that the documentation for the regional accreditation workshop being held in Panama should be made available in both English and Spanish; and

(iv) Report on the lessons learned of the workshops to the Board at its 16th meeting.

(b) Request either the Chair, the Vice-Chair, or any other Board member appointed by the Chair to attend the regional accreditation workshop being held in Panama. The related travel expenses will be financed with the budgetary line “support to the Board Chair”.
