  6. Global consultation phase • Issue or theme based approach • Take 20 issues and group into related issues for common posting and commenting • 5 groups each with their own timing • Inclusive approach – 2 broad methods • NSOs invited to coordinate all “within-country” comment both statistical users and producers • Editorial Board, on advice from UNCEEA members, to determine key international level stakeholders for each issue/group of issues • All NSO key contacts and key international stakeholders informed of progress and forthcoming developments.

  8. Issues for Discussion • Does UNCEEA have any comment on the process map document describing roles and stages in the SEEA revision? • Does UNCEEA have any advice or comment on the consultation process? • Should the consultation be statistically focused? • Is the NSO / International separation to identify stakeholders appropriate? • Are there any comments regarding the broad timeframes for completing Volume I?
