Admission of New Organizations to the CWP

48. The admission to the CWP of intergovernmental organizations having competence in fishery statistics is provided for in item 2 of the Statutes and paragraph 14 of the Rules of Procedure. The Sixteenth Session of the CWP agreed (paragraph 170 of the report) the following procedure for handling applications:

"In discussing the procedure for admitting new organisations to the CWP, the CWP agreed that applications could be handled intersessionally by correspondence. To help existing participating organisations to reach their own internal decisions on whether to support the admission of an applicant organisation, it was suggested that applicants should be asked to provide information on the objectives of their organisation, their involvement in fishery statistics collection, compilation and publication and the composition of their governing body."
