IV. What You Should Do First
Imagine you have joined
a new expert review team and you are about to get started with your work.
What should you do first?
Answer: PREPARE YOURSELF!
You should establish contact with the rest of your review team, especially
your lead reviewers, and your Sectoral partner (in the case Desk and
Centralized reviews with 12 or more person teams). You should also
immediately familiarize yourself with the materials available to you for
the review, most of which will be sent to you by the UNFCCC Secretariat
about 4 weeks before the review begins. Most importantly, you and your team
will need to develop an informal plan to complete the reviews in the time
allotted.
This informal plan does not need to be its own report, but it should be an
agreement amongst your team on how you and the rest of your fellow team
members will prioritize your work while taking into account the following:
- The number of inventory submissions
you must review
- Which of the 3 different
review approaches (Centralized, In-Country, or Desk) you are using
- That you will be working in
a team and must organize to efficiently allocate work within the team,
especially between you and your sector partner on a 12 member team
- The analysis of Key
Categories prepared by both the Party and the Secretariat. Obviously,
detailed reviews of source or sink categories should focus on key
categories. However, one or two non-key source or sink categories
should also be given a careful review, and other non-key sources or
sinks should not be completely ignored
- The amount of time you and
your other team members have been allotted to work on the review,
acknowledging that almost all of you will not be working full time
during much of the time allotted
