The IC was in the process of creating an IC Sub-group on Dispute Avoidance and Settlement (DAS) to oversee Dispute Avoidance and Settlement activities. For more information on the proposed IC Sub-group on DAS, please visit the IC Sub-group on Dispute Avoidance and Settlement page. However after a prolonged call for experts, insufficient nominations were received. The CPM Bureau at their June 2019 meeting requested the IPPC Secretariat to develop a paper for the October 2019 SPG meeting, outlining the issues. After reviewing the issues and discussing options for the next steps, the SPG recommended, and the IC in November 2019 agreed, to put this work on hold.
