Internal Rules of Procedure
The Rules of procedure of the ABS Consultation Forum were adopted in the first meeting of the group. Regarding membership, the total number of eligible applications significantly exceeded the number of available slots for membership and applications from some sectors were particularly numerous. In order to achieve the balanced representation required by the ABS Regulation, some organisations representing closely related interests were merged into groups. The first organisation in the attached document (Members of the Consultation Forum) has been given "Member" status while the other organisations of the groups have been given "Alternate member" status. The organisations merged in groups agree on who will represent the group in each meeting.
