Why it's Important | The report from the SSAC review WG follows up on the independent review finalized in May 2009 by external consultants. After this report –submitted to public comments- the SSAC community undertook an internal self-review exercise, which resulted in a report to the WG, where –commenting on the recommendations of reviewers- they formulated their proposals for the reform of the Committee. In their report, the SSAC review WG comments both on the original report from reviewers and on the proposals issued by SSAC.

The session is important to allow interested parties to exchange their views with the WG on its draft conclusions before their finalization.
