Decision on the fifth item on the agenda: The Standards Initiative: Implementing the workplan for strengthening the supervisory system

The Governing Body:

(a) approved the measures and costs set out in section 2.1.1 (an electronic document and information management system for the supervisory bodies) and in paragraph 69 (preparation of a guide on established practices across the supervisory system) of document GB.331/INS/5, and decided that they would be financed in the first instance from savings that might arise under Part I of the budget or, failing that, through the use of the provision for unforeseen expenditure, Part II. Should this subsequently prove impossible, the Director-General would propose alternative methods of financing at a later stage in the 2018–19 biennium;

(b) deferred consideration of all remaining matters concerning the implementation of the workplan for strengthening the supervisory system to its 332nd Session (March 2018).
