7. Proposal of the Chair

8. Proposal of the Chair
In the opinion of the Chair, although the results produced by the application of the mandate prioritization methodology approved by the Permanent Council are technically sound, founded as they are on objective and neutral measurements and assessments, they do not conform to political guidelines followed by the Organization.
In that regard, while the Chair recognizes that this process has been long and, at times, complicated, nevertheless, so far, the agreed-upon approach has been not to discard mandates per se, but to screen them out because they are duplicates, have been superseded, or do not qualify as mandates; or else to classify them by their contents (A, B, and C).
Accordingly, the Chair would like to propose the following approach:
Take the first criterion in the mandate prioritization methodology as the starting point; in other words, the mandates identified as contributing to the fulfillment of the Strategic Vision (81 mandates).
Go back to the “Strategic Vision Road Map,” which was used as a working tool and guide for the first stages of the Strategic Vision process.
Combine the 81 mandates selected using the methodology with the other components of the Strategic Vision, in order to use them, with the approval of the Permanent Council, as inputs in drafting the four-year strategic plans.
