Each half day session is approximately 3 hours. Group A (ODS substitutes) will last 4 half days.
1.

Introduction by break-out chair:

Break-out chairs will be identified before themeeting and will be involved in the planning
process. The chairs should also present asummary of the IPCC Guidelines for theirsources, including a discussion of the tiered
approach (20 minutes).

identify candidates 4 weeks before the meeting.
Each presentation should summarize a national
approach to a source or sector, and identify main
issues and problem areas. (20 minutes each)

The break-out chairs will present an overview ofthe methodologies and reporting instructions
from Revised 1996 IPCC Guideline for

4.

Discussions of key issue areas

Completeness
Methodological Approaches
Inventory QA/QC
Uncertainty Assessment
Transparency Issues
Identification of Priority Areas
Assignment of Follow-up Tasks

5.

Break-Out Chair Wrap-up

Chapter by chapter discussion of backgroundpaper, work plan for revisions, and assignment offollow-up responsibilities.
