Developing 2030 CES Recommendations

Steering Group review of sections not covered by any task force

Here's a short reminder of what we need to do. Main point: these sections should not require much work, as they are the areas we deemed to not require a dedicated task force. For more detailed instructions and interim deadlines and meeting dates, see the recent ChairingGuide2.pdf

• Brief analysis of survey results pertaining to the section, focusing on any implications for things that might need to change in the Recommendations.
  • Excel files with extracts relating to these sections are in sharepoint folder previously shared by email.
  • Full Excel file of all responses and individual country responses are here. Contact Fiona for any access issues.
  • No need for complex analysis or lengthy text: focus on frequency tables and take-home messages.
  • Deadline for first draft 14 Feb 2024 , final draft following Steering-Group review of all sections 28 Mar 2024. 
• Suggest revisions to the text of the 2020 Recs
  • Based on analysis above; on any known changes e.g. in global or regional statistical standards/guidelines, classifications, external references, accepted terminology etc since last edition; and on your knowledge of policy need and user demand. 
  • Try to make text more concise and easy for non-native readers to follow where possible.
  • Flag to Fiona in advance any potentially controversial suggestions or things requiring debate among the Steering Group.
  • See important points in the Chairing Guide under section 2.3. 'Structuring your submission'. Fiona will work with you on ensuring all the pieces meet these criteria. 
  • Deadline 21 Jun 2024 .
• Make note of what changes are made and why, to serve as record of our decision-making for the future.
