20. 6. Status Quo of the Fast Track on Work and Productivity Members of the GA are invited to: Give feedback on the current status of the fast-track project Discuss the relation of the fast-track project to the Pilot Common/Joint Activity

21. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure The GA is invited to: Discuss the suggested governance amendments

22. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure Feedback from Members NL (ZonMW): -Election procedures without any automatic renewal/rotation -Steering Committee (4): candidate nomination: For the point above we would like to suggest a different procedure based on our experience in AMR. Voting members of the GA (so one per country) will be asked to nominate one candidate for the position of chair and maximum three candidates for the position of steering committee member. This will be done by an online tool created by the secretariat. When nominated, candidates will be approached by the secretariat whether they want to accept the nomination. If so, candidates will be asked to write a short motivation letter as well as provide a letter of their organization to support their candidacy. If nominated as steering committee member, the candidate will also be able to state whether they would accept a position as vice-chair. GA shall elect Chair and Vice Chair and three additional members to the Steering Committee  Based on the number of countries in this JPI we would consider two steering committee members as sufficient

23. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure Feedback from Members NL (ZonMW): …elected candidates … can be re-elected-> We would suggest to only accept one re-election Working Group Members (13): What exactly constitutes a working group in the current status of the JPI? For example, the five working groups established to begin development of the SRA are to be dissolved. However, we have new groups established on an ad hoc basis to undertake the fast track activities – for the purposes of the governance arrangements would these be considered to be working groups?-> Agreed, dissolve the current working groups and go for bullet two. -> bullet point two: Include reference to the need for Working Groups to be appointed by the GA at any time, defining its scope and purpose, Terms of Reference, method for the nomination and appointment of members and ensuring the means for the working group sustainability

24. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure Feedback from Members FI (THL): Taskforce report: Generally the idea to broaden troika to a steering committee seems like a good idea, but can a broad committee be as functional as the troika or will there effectively be another smaller group taking hold of the running matters and/or the more challenging issues where there is less consensus? There is no mention on how many terms a member could hold a position (in the steering committee). The idea to treat Fast Track as Working Group is not convincing, since membership in Fast Track follows implementation criteria and membership in WG follows scientific input. Working groups need a different procedure for financing.

25. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure Feedback from Members FI (THL): Additional comment on the following documents: Governance Model (Oct 2013) p. 5 under General Assembly > Mandate and Tasks it states that “the General Assembly… appoints 5 additional members to the Societal Advisory Board”. This does not really make sense and has been copied from the structure of the SAB (additional members have been appointed to complement WG chairs). Rules of Internal (Oct 2013) p. 4 “Admission of observers or other experts to the meetings of the General Assembly Following persons can attend the meetings of the General Assembly by invitation: - The Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board - The Chair the Societal Advisory Board - A representative of the European Commission. - Observing countries.”

26. 7. Status Quo of the Work of the Task Force on Amendments of Governance Structure Feedback from Members FI (THL): Perhaps Chairs of SAB and SOAB should always be invited to GA meetings to enforce the connection and their advisory role. Additional rules for SAB and SOAB: Recommendations by SAB/SOAB (e.g. SRA updates, working group themes) have to be discussed in the GA and answered in due form. SAB / SOAB are entitled to own initiatives under JPI MYBL, e.g. co-operation with other JPIs; initiatives have to be approved by GA (Troika) and regularly reported to the GA.

27. 8. Position of New Vice-Chair Since the Term of Office for Vice-Chair Rosita Cottone has officially ended, a new Vice- Chair for the Troika must be elected or there must be (in connection with the discussion regarding the results of the work of the Governance-Task Force) found another solution for the position of one of the vice chairs. The GA is invited to: get information on potential candidates discuss possible options how to deal with the current situation

28. 9. Current Status of Expert Lists The GA is invited to: Discuss the (future) role of the experts in the advisory boards
