ADOPTION OF THE MEETING AGENDA

3.1
The Chairperson briefly explained each agenda item, referring to the Provisional
Agenda (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/1) and Provisional Annotated Agenda
(Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/2).

3.2
Participants were asked to consider the agenda prepared by the Secretariat, and to
propose any amendments or additions that they might wish.

3.3
Ms. Connie Chiang mentioned that the UN procedures of contracting would be
explained to the participants, and requested the Chairperson to allow some time
during the meeting to include this short session. The Chairperson suggested to
include this explanation after Agenda Item 6.

3.4
The meeting adopted the agenda with no modification, which is attached as
Annex II to this report.



4.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS FROM THE SECOND RWG-F MEETING

4.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/4 and explain the expected outputs from this Meeting.

4.2
Mr. Archer presented the outcomes and outputs anticipated from the meeting, stating
that the main objectives were: the review and synthesis of the data and information of
the fisheries component for the Yellow Sea marine basin acquired during the recent
collection exercise, based on the data/information requirements of this Regional
Working Group, for preparation of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA).

4.3
He reported that the major outcomes of the meeting were expected to be:

· An awareness of the quality, gaps, difficulties and barriers to collecting data and
information on fisheries, fisheries resources and mariculture, and an
understanding of the mechanisms to address these issues.
· An awareness of the region-wide status and patterns-of-change in fisheries
resources and mariculture in the Yellow Sea, with agreements on the current
status and patterns-of-change in benthic and pelagic resources, biodiversity,
biomass, trophic structure, carrying capacity, abundance and distribution,
production levels, etc. of fisheries resources in the Yellow Sea;
· A revised list of `perceived problems' and Causal Chain Analysis agreed at the
First RWG-F meeting.
· An improved state-of-knowledge of the existing national laws and regulations on
fisheries and how these may contribute to potential governance issues.
· An agreement on the preparation of the Fisheries Component inputs for the
preparation of the Draft TDA.

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 3

· Understanding of the Fisheries Component's role in the upcoming Cooperative
Surveys of the Yellow Sea Marine Basin.
· Agreement on activities to be implemented during 2005 to 2006 including the
objectives of the body-of-work that is required to be implemented prior to the next
RWG-F meeting, the role of consultants and members of the RWG-F in the
process.
· Agreement on list and schedule of activities for the RWG-F for 2005 to 2006.

4.4
Mr. Archer then informed the group of what tangible outputs were expected from the
meeting. These were:

· A list of activities to address the gaps, data calibration issues and the barriers and
difficulties to collection of data and information, etc.
· A listing of the formats and presentation of data for input to the final TDA
document.
· An updated causal chain analysis based on contemporary fisheries and
mariculture information, finalized for input to the Draft TDA.
· A workplan for the Regional Working Group ­ Fisheries showing activities for
2005 to 2006, to submit for approval to the 2nd PSC Meeting.
· Approved statements of works for each of the impending consultant activities and
proposals for suitable candidates.
· A workplan and list of responsibilities for activities leading up to, during, and after
the co-operative cruise for the Fisheries component.

4.5
The group requested further explanations regarding definitions for "data gaps,"
"consultants," and the "causal chain and governance analysis." The Secretariat
explained that "gaps" referred to missing data, unavailable data, or non-existing data.
"Consultants" referred to qualified persons that would be contracted to implement
activities. The Secretariat also explained that the RWG-I will be responsible for
overseeing the governance analysis for all components, but that each component
should carry out its own causal chain analysis, and provide relevant socio-economic
data and information to the teams that will carry out the governance analysis. More
information about this will be provided later in the meeting.

4.6
Members took note of the expected outputs, and will keep them in mind when
discussing the agenda items.


5.
CONSIDERATION OF THE ON-GOING ACTIVITIES UNDER THE FISHERIES
COMPONENT


5.1

Review of Collected Fisheries Data and Information

5.1.1 The Chairperson invited the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute,
Korea, and Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, China to present the fisheries-
related data and information collected over the past months.

5.1.2 Mr. Sohn Myoung-Ho presented the activity's progress-to-date for Korea's fisheries
national review, explaining the types of data and information that have been collected,
methods used to carry out assignment, current known trends and status of fisheries

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 4
based on available data, and problems with the activity (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F. 2/5).

5.1.3 Mr. Sohn showed the Korean fisheries current status based on data and information
collected covering the period of 1980 to 2004. He stated that 60-70% of the required
data had been collected, but did not present all the data to the group, as the format
for the final presentation should be first agreed with the Chinese members. Instead,
Mr. Sohn suggested the format tables of how data are expected to be shown in the
final product.

5.1.4 Mr. Sohn summarized the data and information to-date by stating that Korean fishing
grounds have expanded since the 1960's, and that Total Catch, which was as its
peak during mid 1980's, has gradually decreased since, showing a continual
downward trend. He also stated that the ratio of total catch from the Yellow Sea is
around 20% in relation to total country catch recently, and although numbers of
fishing vessels and horse power (HP) show an increasing trend, the mean tonnage of
vessels is showing a decreasing trend in recent years. CPUEs (Catch per tonnage,
boats, HP) have been decreased sharply, and he added that the species composition
of the catch has changed a little in the past decade.

5.1.5 Mr. Sohn ended his presentation by stating that there is insufficient data for some
parameters: catch data ­ exact fishing area, detailed CPUE data (Catch per hauls,
fishermen, fishing gears, etc) by fisheries, biological/ecological data, detailed effort
data (number of fishing gears, fishermen, hauls, work days, towing time etc) ­ by
region, by fisheries, and by region and fisheries. Mr. Sohn clarified that region is
defined here as Korean provinces.

5.1.6 Mr. Jin Xianshi presented the activity's progress-to-date for China's national review,
explaining the types of data and information that have been collected, the sources of
data, carrying capacity stock assessment models, socio-economic data, such as
national laws and regulations on fisheries, national laws on management and
conservation measures, and the China-Korea fisheries agreement signed in August
2000.

5.1.7 Mr. Jin explained the gaps in data are: 1) an absence of data covering the entire
Yellow Sea for commercial fisheries and past surveys; 2) no catch data for species
levels in specific areas; and 3) a proportion of Yellow Sea catch data is mixed with
East China Sea catch data.

5.1.8 Finally, the condition of Chinese fisheries was shown, describing the regional and
migratory routes of important species, amount of seasonal catch by species,
dominant stocks, and CPUE.

5.1.9 Mr. Archer enquired if any country had any form of navigational information to identify
discrete locations for spawning and fishing areas.

5.1.10 Both countries stated that they did not possess this information and that spatial
information is defined only by polygons drawn on maps.

5.1.11 Mr. Jin and Ms. Yeon noted that the WWF/KORDI/KEI Yellow Sea Ecoregion
Planning Programme (YSEPP) has fisheries data provided by China and Korea
which is also in the form of polygons, and much of this information can also be
utilised for the purposes of the fisheries component.


UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 5

5.1.12 The PMO agreed to review the YSEPP GIS data and examine how this may be
used in the analysis of fisheries data and information.

5.1.13 Mr. Archer enquired as to what spatial scales that data and information have been
collected. In the agreed data table, both countries had agreed to collect data and
information at the `province' level, but during discussions, both countries had stated
that they are collecting data for `regions'. Mr. Archer mentioned that the biodiversity
component agreed to collect China's data and information to the level of `city' (which
is a apparently a larger administrative unit than `county'), which was roughly
equivalent in size to the `province' level of Korea. There are approximately 10 `city'
units along the Chinese coastline, whereas there are four provinces along the Korean
coastline.

5.1.14 Both China and Korea confirmed that they have collected data at the province level
and should continue to use this data, even if scale is different.

5.1.15 During further data format discussions, Mr. Jin recommended to the group that Kilo
Watts (KW) power be used as the standard for calculating CPUE as opposed to
gross HP, as the latter was considered to not be an effective a figure to use.

5.1.16 Members agreed to utilise the KW in the calculation of CPUE for each country.

5.1.17 Mr. Jang In-Kwon noted problems in inputting data during the collection activities, in
particular with the lack of knowledge on the format being used by China for their
collection. He recommended that both countries adopt standardised format for
inputting data and information.

5.1.18 Mr. Archer stated that this was in fact, one of the priority items of the meeting ­ to
develop agreements and standardise data and information input in light of the recent
data and information collection activities, beyond that which was agreed on at the
first RWG-F meeting. This was critical and the group should take some time to
ensure that an appropriate format for all data was agreed upon. This issue will be
dealt with at the end of this agenda.

5.1.19 Mr. Archer enquired to members as to whether collected data and information
currently included any details on low value/trash fish levels in catch, that would allow
us to identify the level of catch and use, especially concerning the production of feed
for aquaculture species, as this was a growing global concern as the aquaculture
industry expands.

5.1.20 Members stated that catch records for both countries do not contain details on levels
of low value species or trash fish and this data could not be determined from the data
and information that they had collected, and while members were interested in
obtaining information on low value/trash fish realising the importance of this
information, there is little data available from both Korea and China. Members
suggested that the RWG-Investment should be responsible for analysing this data
and information, and the governance analysis consultants should collect this
information.

5.1.21 Mr. Archer stated that the Food and Agriculture Organisation for the United Nations
(FAO) has detailed information on low value/trash fish for China developed during the
APFIC Regional Workshop on Low Value and "Trash Fish" in the Asia-Pacific in
Vietnam (2005), but does not seem to possess the same quantity or quality of data
for Korea.


UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 6
5.1.22 The PMO agreed to discuss the issue of low value/trash fish with the
investment group and whether it was possible for the governance analysis
consultants to be able to acquire this kind of fisheries data.


5.1.23 Concomitantly, the PMO would examine the FAO databases to see what

information could be used to fill this data gap.

5.1.24 Mr. Jeung Gab-Yong presented socio-economic data related to fisheries resources in
Korea: number of vessels by fisheries, number of fisherpersons by region, fisheries
income, consumption per capita, export and import, contribution to GDP, TAC, and
national legislation.

5.1.25 The group enquired whether `Consumption per capita' included the consumption of
both fresh and seawater species, and Mr. Jeung confirmed that it did include both.


5.2
Review of Collected Mariculture Data and Information

5.2.1 Mr. Jang presented the method used to carry out this activity, namely visits to
provincial governments, Korea Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and web
searches, and showed data that had been collected by the Korean team. Mr. Jang
also described the remaining work to be done. He mentioned that reliable data or
information on licenses is not available in the websites and had to visit provincial
governments, and showed samples of data by totals for provinces or cities, but not
for whole country,

5.2.2 Mr. Jang continued to describe total production levels of marine farmed organisms,
aquaculture licenses and area of marine farms (Ha), and aquaculture methods (by
habitat) of marine farmed organisms at the level of province or city.

5.2.3 Mr. Jang described the data and information gaps in the Korean data stating that
mariculture data in Korea, more than 10 years old, is not available and that only
production information from legal farms was included in the data and information. He
stated that there was no way of knowing the exact contribution to production by
illegal mariculture farms but estimated that they may add as much as 20-30% to the
total production figures.

5.2.4 Mr. Fang Jian Guang gave the mariculture data and information collection activity
progress report for China, showing the group data from as early as 1988 ­ 2004, and
explaining the current status of mariculture in China, species that are cultured,
culture types, annual yield by city and province, effects of mariculture and
suggestions for addressing problems caused by mariculture which included:
strengthening of investments to improve equipment quality, techniques and
efficiency; resolving problems in culture technologies, water quality control and
purification and resolution of other mariculture-related pollution issues; developing
high level of effectiveness of culture facilities and auto-control techniques.

5.2.5 Mr. Fang went on to describe the gaps in the data and information stating that some
data are available by species, but some by groups, and that is was impossible to get
recent information to determine the change in number of new mariculture licenses
and the change in area of land covered by mariculture because of rapid growth of
mariculture in recent years. He remarked that the licensing of mariculture farms in
China is a recent event, and only data of from the last year are available.


UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 7

5.1.26 Mr. Archer asked the group whether it was possible to determine the amount of
organisms that are imported or cultured, and then introduced to the natural
environment in order to `enhance' natural stocks, as this was a need and request to
the RWG-F by the RWG-B.

5.1.27 Mr. Jeung stated that enhancement data was not available for Korea.

5.1.28 Mr Fang stated that it is included in China's data, but it is difficult to know the
quantities for each species, or how much is derived from natural vs. cultured
organisms.

5.1.29 Members agreed not to collect any additional data as this is not a core focus
for RWG-F data collection, but agreed that if they can locate the data in the
information that they collected, then they would provide it to RWG-B.



Presentation of Final Data Products

5.2.6 Participants reiterated the need for consistency in expression of species names in
the final reports. Members noted that the scientific names were not a problem.
Members agreed to use common names as listed in FishBase. Additionally,
members agreed to list the local Chinese and Korean names, and one master
list of all species including scientific, English, Chinese and Korean names
would be prepared and included in the final report.


5.2.7 Members held two sessional working groups (for fisheries and for mariculture) to
discuss the format in which to present the final data for the regional synthesis and
TDA.

5.2.8 Mr. Jang presented the agreed data formats that will could used by both countries for
the input of mariculture-specific data. He explained to members that parameters that
either country did not possess would not be included in the spreadsheet.

5.2.9 The agreed data-input tables for use by both countries to standardise the input
of data and information are attached in Annex III.

5.2.10 There was a brief discussion on the spatial scales for collection and presentation of
data and information.

5.2.11 Members agreed that the previous decision to show data to the level of
provinces, except for licenses or number of farms, was still valid after the data
and information exercise.


5.2.12 Members also agreed that total production (marine production only) by

province will be collected and total freshwater production by country will be
added. If total farmed area by province information can be obtained, then this
would also be included.


5.2.13 Ms. Yeon In Ja presented the agreed data input spreadsheet system developed by
the Fisheries group, which provides a format for the input of fisheries-specific data.

5.2.14 Members of the group discussed the requirements for historic data on trawling (Year
of survey, number of stations, bottom trawl coverage, data type) and how to equitably
provide data to obtain a regional picture.


UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 8
5.2.15 Korea stated that their data was limited and patchy, whilst China claims to possess a
very detailed dataset, with a large temporal coverage.

5.2.16 At the end of discussions, it was agreed that Korea would supply what data
they could and that China would match what Korea provided, and could assist
in the filling-in of any additional gaps in the dataset, if needed.


5.2.17 Members reviewed and modified the format of the data-input spreadsheets, based on
the available data from both countries.

5.2.18 The group agreed on the format of data-input, but the spreadsheet was not
finalised pending more information from Korea and China regarding the trawl
surveys. Korea and China agreed to provide the finalised version to the PMO
by the 25th November, 2005.


5.2.19 The fisheries group also presented an agreed list of species to be used in the data
collection and analyses. This is a list of species nominated from each country as
having a `major' importance to them. This is in contrary to the previous agreement
where 10 species would be selected that represented the `commercially important'
species shared by both countries. The agreed list is attached in Annex IV.

5.2.20 Korea presented the format for socio-economic data. Members discussed,
modified and agreed on the format that is attached as Annex V.

5.2.21 Members then reviewed the original `required data and information' table, agreed at
the 1st RWG-F meeting, and revised the data parameters based on the current data
and information availability. This exercise revealed the current and actual availability
of data and information and highlighted the gaps. The completed table is attached
as Annex VI.


5.2.22 Finally, members reviewed the preliminary causal chain analysis also developed at
the 1st RWG-F meeting and made some modifications. Members deemed that a
more thorough review of the data and information would be provided in the final
reports provided at the end of the data and information collection activity. The
agreed revised causal chain analysis is attached as Annex VII.



6.
CONSIDERATION OF THE CO-OPERATIVE STUDY CRUISES

6.1
The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to present a summary of the Technical
Meeting for the Co-operative Study Cruises, 17-18 October 2005 (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/JC.1/3).

6.2
Mr. Archer presented the outcomes and agreements of the Technical Meeting,
describing the agreements on cruise dates, survey route, sampling stations and
transect locations, and the personnel allocations made for each working group that
will be onboard during the survey. He also described the discussions and
agreements on transportation of equipment and personnel, the role of scientists and
their responsibilities, the preparation of equipment and the research vessel, sample
and data sharing and follow-up work.

6.3
Mr. Archer noted that the Chief Scientist for China and Chief Scientist for Korea have
both been selected for the cruise, and both have the appropriate authority and
responsibility for the cruise. He also stated that the Captain of the ship was

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 9

ultimately responsible for the safety of the ship and personnel and would make the
relevant decisions during the cruise.

6.4
During the discussions, members noted that there were not enough team members
for the fisheries group, as Dr. Jin would be the Chief Scientist, and would have to
deal with other responsibilities regarding the sampling and overall co-ordination of
the cruise. Thus, the fisheries team is now one person short.

6.5
Mr. Archer stated to the group that since he was participating in the winter cruise, he
will be available to assist all components in their sampling activities. However, as he
will have his own task to perform on behalf of the PMO, he cannot be dedicated to fill
the vacancy of a fisheries scientist.

6.6
The Fisheries group recommended that as the Pollution and Biodiversity groups have
already completed their 2nd RWG meetings and have finalised their team member
numbers, it may be necessary to approach the Ecosystem Component and ask them
to reduce their number of personnel by at least one person, to allow for a
replacement for Mr. Jin to be added to the Fisheries Component.

6.7
The PMO agreed to raise this issue at the upcoming 2nd RWG-E Meeting.

6.8
A question was raised as to whether the northern portion of the spring survey
stations falls within an area that could be an issue for North Korea, and may pose
some difficulties especially for scientists of the South Korea. Mr. Jin noted that the
research vessel has previously had clearance to travel in that area.

6.9
The PMO agreed to confirm the exact status of these northern stations in
relation to the sensitive areas around North Korea, and would defer the issue
to the Project Steering Committee for a decision about future of these
sampling stations if it is an issue.


6.10 A suggestion was made for the Fisheries Component to undertake an otolith study
during the cruise to determine `age composition'. During discussions, this was not
deemed a priority activity, and it was agreed that length data would provide sufficient
information for age composition analysis. However, it was agreed that if any
group required age composition information, they could undertake whatever
study they wanted, so long as the priority goals of the cruise were met, no
extra inconvenience or expense to the vessel or all concerned was created,
and was conducted for the mutual benefit of all involved.


6.11 The group discussed the equipment requirements for the cooperative cruise,
describing the issues and ways to resolve them.

6.12 The group informed the PMO that both countries were not able to locate suitable
electronic balances with the required sensitivity, for use on-board the vessel.
Members agreed to purchase standard electronic balances for in-lab use, and
use manual scales on-board the vessel. Savings made by not purchasing the
more expensive scales would be used to purchase more, cheaper scales to
expedite the measurement of samples.


6.13 Mr. Jin reported that the actual cost of the `Bongo' net systems was about USD 7800,
exceeding the previous estimate given by the RWG-F during the Technical Meeting.
As this was a critical piece of sampling equipment, it would only be possible to
purchase one Bongo net..


UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 10
6.14 Mr. Archer voiced his concern about the lack of redundancy and the possibility of
failure or loss of this critical piece of equipment, and therefore the loss of all
associated data.

6.15 Members agreed to purchase only one Bongo net and four horizontal nets.

6.16 Members finalised the workplan, equipment manifest, budget for the Fisheries
Component for the cooperative study cruise. Korea also provided to the PMO, the
final list of samples to be relocated to Korea (for the approval process) at the
completion of the survey. The agreed documents are attached as Annex VIII.

6.17 Members recommended that a technical meeting should be held before the spring
co-operative study cruise. The meeting should be organised some time in late March
2006, perhaps back-to-back with a cross component meeting.

6.18 The PMO agreed to examine the possibility of these dates for these two
meetings.


7.
ACTIVITIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED DURING 2005 TO 2006

7.1
Ms. Chiang briefly introduced the UNOPS contracting procedure for the benefit of the
group, describing the different contract modalities, contract types, the general
contractual processes and procurement system, emphasising the time it takes to
complete the process and the urgency for expedient actions by members of the
working group. Ms Chiang described the contract process for institutes and
individuals and emphasised the significant contract levels, i.e. less than USD 30,000
and greater than USD 30,000, which have significantly different contract procedures
and implications to both contractor and incumbents.

7.2 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/7 and describe the body of work that is required to be
implemented prior to the 3rd RWG-F meeting.

7.3
Mr. Archer summarised the tasks of this agenda item and asked the members to
familiarise themselves with the upcoming activities, the input required by both the
members of the RWG-F and consultants, the schedule of implementation of the work,
and asked the members to propose appropriate candidates to undertake the
consultant tasks. He described the immediate activities of the RWG-F in lieu of the
recent data and information exercise and considering the approaching deadline for
inputs to the TDA. Mr. Archer then described the activities that follow these,
describing the discrete actions for the various sub-components.

7.4
The Chairperson invited members to consider the activities of the RWG-F for 2005 to
2006, make any necessary revisions and propose appropriate candidates for the
required consultant activity.

7.5
After the PMO clarified a few questions from the members, members suggested a
number of potential candidates for consultant contracts, for each of the upcoming
activities.

7.6

The PMO agreed to send the Statement of Work to these candidates soon after
the meeting, and request for bids for the work.



UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 11

7.7
Mr. Archer presented the process of governance analysis for the Project, describing
the background, the components, and a suggested implementation structure of
governance analysis. He stated that a review of the implementation plan and
discussions with governance experts revealed a need for a consultant(s) to
undertake a full governance analysis integrating the outcomes from each component.

7.8
Mr. Archer also noted that there are some implications to the RWG-F should an
integrated governance analysis be carried out as above, namely, there may be an
additional requirement for the Fisheries Component to provide data and information
for the governance analysis to assist and expedite the activity to meet the deadline.

7.9
Members agreed on the proposed governance analysis presented by the PMO,
and expressed a continuous commitment and willingness to support the PMO
and the consultant(s) in the process of the analysis by providing additional
relevant data if necessary.


7.10 Members recommended that the consultant consider the collection of the following
information, and the RWG-F may be able to provide this information to the consultant
to expedite the governance analysis given the short amount of time before the TDA
should be produced:

· Management related departments (e.g. government structure);
· Fisheries and related laws and regulations and standards, etc.; and
· Current and planned activities (e.g. Fisheries management programmes, etc).

7.11 The PMO agreed to provide this list to the consultant as soon as one is
selected.


8.
WORKPLAN FOR 2005 TO 2006

8.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/9, the Fisheries Component workplan.

8.2
Mr. Archer presented the workplan for the Regional Working Group ­ Fisheries,
stating that some changes had been made to reflect the current situation. He invited
members to review and revise the workplan for the RWG-F, for submission and
approval at the 2nd PSC Meeting in December 2005.

8.3
Members revised the workplan for the Fisheries Working Group for 2005 to
2006 that is attached as Annex IX.



9. OTHER
BUSINESS

9.1
The Chairperson invited members to raise any other issues that need to be
considered by this meeting.

9.2
Ms. Chiang commended the members for their progress on the data and information
collection activity, and for almost completing the activity. She also informed
members that for the second round of RWG Meetings, 4 out of 5 Components had to
change their previously agreed dates. This caused some extra work and delay in
implementation of activities. Ms. Chiang asked all members to keep to the agreed
meeting dates, and informed members that last minute changes in RWG

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-F.2/3
Page 12
membership and meeting times due to conflicting schedules also created lots of
additional work for the PMO to arrange the meeting and accommodations.

9.3
Mr. Archer mentioned to the group that both regional communication and mutual
understanding were major objectives of this project. He mentioned that the PMO had
established a number of mechanisms to facilitate communication within and between
countries (such as the new e-discussion groups on the YSLME website), and
although he commended the Fisheries Component for their national and regional
communication so far, he urged them to develop this even further, particularly in
regards to communication with Component Chairs, NPCs and the PMO.

9.4
Mr. Archer also gave special thanks to the observers to the meeting, stating that their
input can only increase the level of achievement of the project, and hoped that
observers would continue to be a feature of the RWG-F meetings.


10.
VENUE FOR THE NEXT REGIONAL WORKING GROUP MEETING

10.1 The Chairperson invited members to consider the date and place for the 3rd RWG-F
Meeting.

10.2 Members agreed to have the Third RWG-F Meeting in Weihai, China, from 21-24
August 2006.
