DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 6984] 

Request for Nominations of Experts for 

Consideration as Authors and/or 

Editors for the Fifth Global 

Environment Outlook (GEO–5) 

ACTION: This is an announcement of an 

opportunity to recommend experts to 

the U.S. Government for nomination as 

Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead 

Authors, Contributing Authors and 

Review Editors for the Fifth Global 

Environment Outlook (GEO–5). 

SUMMARY: Governments, along with 

other stakeholder groups, relevant 

institutions, and United Nations 

agencies, have been invited to nominate 

experts to participate in the GEO–5 

assessment. The Department of State is 

coordinating the recommendation of 

experts to the United Nations 

Environment Programme (UNEP) for 

GEO–5. The purpose of GEO–5 is to 

provide a comprehensive, integrated, 

and scientifically credible global 

environmental assessment to support 

decision-making processes at 

appropriate levels. Individuals may seek 

to nominate others (or themselves) 

directly on http://www.unep.org/geo/ 

nominations/, or through the U.S. 

government. For those who wish to 

submit their nominations through the 

U.S. government, your nomination must 

be submitted to UNEP at the Web site 

above, and the nomination must also be 

received at the U.S. Department of State, 

Office of Environmental Policy, which 

is coordinating the U.S. Government 

nomination process, no later than May 

12, 2010. The remainder of this 

announcement provides background 

information and describes how to 

submit recommendations. 

The Global Environment Outlook is 

the primary assessment process of the 

UN Environment Programme (UNEP), 

which helps keep the global 

environment under review. It is a tool 

that informs decision-making, focusing 

on assessment priorities and analyzing 

policy challenges and opportunities to 

provide policy response options. It is 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
25308 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 88 / Friday, May 7, 2010 / Notices 

also a communications tool that brings 

together diverse stakeholder groups, 

builds capacity and aims to raise 

awareness on the status and trends of 

the environment. 

Experts are expected to have a 

thorough understanding in one or more 

of the following areas: Environmental 

science; environment and development 

priorities, challenges and policy; and 

environmental management or 

governance. UNEP will select nominees 

by matching expertise to specific roles, 

paying due regard to disciplinary, 

gender and geographical balance. 

Details of the GEO–5 nominating 

process may be found online at http:// 

www.unep.org/geo/nominations/ and 

http://www.globalchange.gov/ 

globalenvironmentoutlook. To access 

the nominations form on the UNEP Web 

site, please use Username: geo5_2012 

and Password: nominee. Nominations 

may be made on http://www.unep.org/ 

geo/nominations/. For nominations to 

be considered within the U.S. 

Government nomination process, they 

must also be submitted to the United 

States Department of State. GEO–5 will 

review the nominations from all 

participating governments, individuals 

and organizations and make final 

decisions on nominees. 

Selection as a U.S. Government 

nominee does not guarantee selection by 

GEO–5 itself. Participants in the GEO 

process volunteer their time. Nominated 

individuals should agree in advance to 

fulfill the role for which they are 

nominated, should they be selected to 

do so by GEO. Nomination by the U.S. 

Government to GEO–5 does not imply a 

commitment by the U.S. Government to 

provide financial support for 

participation. 

UNEP may provide travel and 

subsistence costs for non-Federal 

participants if requested by the 

participant, subject to the availability of 

resources. Additional guidance on 

compensation of expenses and 

remuneration of services will be 

available on the UNEP Web site. 

How to Recommend Experts 

1. Refer to the GEO–5 Web site 

http://www.unep.org/geo/nominations/ 

for detailed background information on 

the 5th Assessment Report. To access 

the nominations form on the UNEP Web 

site, please use Username: geo5_2012 

and Password: nominee. The document 

on GEO–5 nominations identifies the 

substantive areas covered in each of the 

chapters of the report. It is important to 

note that the time commitment required 

to carry out different roles in the GEO– 

5 process varies greatly. 

2. Make sure that any of the experts 

that you wish to recommend are willing 

to serve in the role for which they are 

nominated. 

3. Nominations to be considered 

within the U.S. Government nomination 

process must be submitted to the U.S. 

Department of State, Office of 

Environmental Policy no later than May 

12, 2010. Complete the GEO–5 

nomination form, one for each nominee, 

including an up-to-date CV, 

identification of the relevant chapters, 

and the role for which the individual is 

being nominated. Send this information 

by e-mail to rosenmanrg@state.gov by 

May 12. Please note that partial 

nomination packages will not be 

considered. 

What happens next? 

In a process coordinated through the 

U.S. Department of State, Bureau of 

Oceans and International Environmental 

and Scientific Affairs, Office of 

Environmental Policy, technical experts 

and managers of relevant science and 

technology programs within the U.S. 

government will make and review 

recommendations and forward a slate of 

nominees to GEO–5 on the basis of their 

qualifications. Submission of a 

nomination to the State Department 

does not guarantee that the nomination 

will be forwarded by the U.S. 

Government to UNEP. 

For Further Information 

Richard Rosenman of the Office of 

Environmental Policy, U.S. Department 

of State, is serving as the coordinator of 

this nomination process. Mr. Rosenman

proposal to construct a highway on new

cancelled and no further project 

activities will occur. 

Comments or questions concerning 

this notice should be directed to FHWA 

or the Illinois Department of
