  24. Summary of Issues on the MOH Data Incorporation Malaysia was responsible to preserve the documents on RCA meetings and projects as it was the host of RCA Members Only Homepage but on the 38th GCM it was recommended that both the RCA Members Only Homepage (MOH) and the RCA public Website should be hosted by the RCARO. But at the time of extracting information from the MOH it was seen that some information are unavailable too and some are need correction which I mentioned in the table specifically. As the detailed and easy availability of information is the criteria of a good website so to make the RCARO website enrich in information missing document should be recovered.

  25. Lessions Learned From RCARO Understanding about the operation of RCARO for the enhancement of RCA Understanding about important Meetings and congresses related to RCA activities Team spirit prevailing at the RCARO for work towards sustainable development activities Appropriate system of writing meeting directory and project proposal Understanding about RCA, IAEA-RCA, and IAEA-TC projects Interpersonal relationship and communication
