DRAFT Annotated Agenda for the Subcommittee on CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLANS (CMP)

The table below summarizes how the work of the CMP subcommittee is expected to be handled during SC68B. Discussion of most topics are expected to
be brief and will be conducted via e-mail (or via chat powered workplace apps). A virtual meeting will be held on17 May to discuss item 9.1.1, 9.1.2,
9.1.3 and during the session on 19 May we will discuss 9.2.1, 9.2.2 and 9.2.4. In addition, one last virtual 2-hour session will be held on 21 May to
discuss workplan adopt the CMP report. The report will include a proposed biennial workplan and budget request. The schedule of sessions, once
finalized, can be found on the IWC meeting portal.

Table rows represent agenda items as presented in the SC Agenda. Given the limited amount of time available, the report of CMP will be prepared in the
format of a draft SC report. In other words, this year’s report will be equivalent to the Chair’s summary on a normal, in-person, SC meeting. A report in
the form of an Annex will not be produced. If discussions of certain agenda items become excessively technical, an appendix may be prepared to
accompany the report.

Some documents will be reviewed by small groups or by intersessional correspondence groups assigned by the CMP Subcommittee. Proposed members
for these groups are identified in the “comments” column for each relevant agenda item in the Table below. The shaded rows identify the agenda items
that are anticipated to be discussed during a virtual session. Membership in CMP is open to all SC and members interested in participating on the small
group/ICG discussions should contact Bob Brownell ([email protected] and copied to [email protected]) and Jorge Urban
([email protected]). Also copy Sarah Mallette on all email ([email protected])
