FROM: Secretary, Cargo Services Conference

DATE: 25 May 2012

SUBJECT: CSC MAIL VOTE (S073) – Resolution 602, Resolution 619, Resolution 621, Resolution 681, Resolution 695

During discussions on Policy Item P/20 (Election of Chairman and Vice Chairman of CSC Subgroups) at CSC/34 held in Kuala Lumpur on 12 March 2012, it was endorsed by Conference that the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the CSC subgroups be elected for a term of 2 years, as currently there is no clearly defined term for the Chai rman and Vice Chairman. The Conference tasked the CPCMG to work in conjunction with IATA Secret ariat to develop the necessary amendments to the Terms of Reference of the various subgroups.

Accordingly, the proposed amendments to the following Resolutions have been endorsed by the CPCMG and are requested for adoption by CSC through this Mail Vote:

Resolution Board/ Panel Resolution 602 Cargo Business Processes Panel (CBPP) Resolution 619 Dangerous Goods Board (DGB) Resolution 621 Live Animals and Perishables Board (LAPB) Resolution 681 ULD Panel (ULDP) Resolution 695 Airmail Panel (AMP)

There is an additional amendment to Resolution 621 regarding participation to the LAPB Advisory Panel. The Advisory Panel is comprised of government agencies involved in the regulation of animal transportation and non-governmental organizations with an interest in animal transportation issues. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to raise awareness that once an organization seeks interest then they should be able and willing to participate to the face-to-face meetings as there are other organizations that would be keen to fill in positions at the Advisory Panel.

CSC Voting Procedures

The voting period will run for 21 days from the date of this memorandum. Members are requested to submit the vote by sending an email to cargo@iata.org with reference “CSC Mail Vote S073” latest by Friday, 15 June 2012
