Summary of the process Production of draft documents by CTED experts CTED experts will produce an OIA and DIS for each Member State. The reports will be produced in tranches. Review of documents by the Committee The documents will be circulated to the Committee for adoption. The DIS, as a working document of CTED, will be circulated for information only. 2. Summary of the process Transmittal of documents to Member State The Chair would transmit all documents to the relevant Member State through a cover letter which will request comments, normally within 12 months. Translation of documents Translated versions of the relevant documents will be sent following their initial transmittal in English. Comments received from Member State Comments received on the transmitted OIA and DIS, in addition to other information, will be used by CTED experts to produce an updated OIA and DIS. The comments will be included as annexes to the updated OIA and DIS. Follow up with late and non-reporting States Every six months CTED will update, for the information of the Committee only, a list of late or non-reporting Member States. Upon reviewing the list, the Committee will consider a number of steps to address outstanding issues including: – Inviting the Permanent Representative to a meeting; or – Preparing a reminder or follow up letter; or – deferring the deadline. List of all Member States A list of all Member States will be posted on the Committee’s website (www.un.org/en/sc/ctc/) The list will indicate, in each case, – the date on which the stocktaking cover letter and associated documents were transmitted to the Member State by the Chair and – the date on which the response was received. Sharing the OIA with other Member States Member States have the opportunity to indicate that their OIA may be shared with other Member States through making the appropriate amendment on the cover of the OIA. CTED will accordingly update the list of all Member States on the Committee’s website (through a footnote). The corresponding OIA will not be uploaded to the website but will be made available by CTED upon written request. Thank you
