ISWG-GHG 17/2/19: Proposed process for the further development of the basket of candidate mid-term measures

This document comments on documents MEPC 81/16 and MEPC 81/16/Add.1, annex 12 and invites the Working Group to ensure an inclusive, deliberative and transparent process for the further development of the basket of candidate mid-term measures during working groups at ISWG-GHG 17, MEPC 82 and at any other formal and informal sessions that might happen in between.
