The eleventh meeting of the Working Group took place from 8 to 10 July 2009 in Geneva. The meeting focused on the follow-up to the third session of the Meeting of the Parties and other relevant topics for the inter-sessional period.
The Working Group discussed a draft decision on the terms of reference for a future task force on public participation in decision-making, taking into account the comments from the Ad-hoc Expert Group on Public Participation. It also adopted terms of reference for an expert group on a communication strategy and considered a draft proposal on financial arrangements. The Working Group also discussed a paper on national reporting and provisionally adopted a draft revision of the format for national reporting on implementation, to incorporate reporting on implementation of the amendment to the Convention.
In addition, the Working Group reviewed reports on ongoing work in the areas of access to justice, capacity-building, genetically modified organisms, electronic information tools and the clearinghouse-mechanism.
