Panel (TEAP), since 1989
It has conducted 7 four-year assessments of R/AC and
four-

3. RTOC Assessment 2010
Parties requested assessments from three Panels
(one being the TEAP and its TOCs) in a Decision in
Montreal in 2007
The first meeting for the composition of a “new”
RTOC and for establishing a draft outline of the
assessment report was held in 2008
The emphasis was to be on new developments,
HCFC alternatives and options with low climate
impact, as well as on banks

5. RTOC Membership Assessment 2010
(2)
35 expert members in R/AC/HP from developed, non- non-
Article 5, and Article 5 countries
The vast majority is from developed countries
Parties have given guidance to strive to have a
significant portion of the membership from Article 5
countries (Terms of Reference)
This depends on availability, necessary expertise,
writing and discussions skills (all in english language)

6. RTOC Membership Assessment 2010
(3)
Some changes in RTOC membership occur during an

Important issue is the financial support for developed
country experts from governments, industries, other
entities
Article 5 expert travel funded by UNEP
Experts need to bring to RTOC meetings experience
obtained from national and international reports in
English language and need experience in drafting; they
also need to be able to work in (chapter) teams
