Break-out sessions on common inspection criteria (CIC)

The remainder of the afternoon session will be dedicated to discussion in 3 break-out groups on common inspection criteria for the following SMS topics:  

 Topics TBA
NOTE 1. TWG 2 Members are asked to give their preference for break-out group by ranking of 1, 2, 3 with 1 as the most preferred when confirming their meeting presence to MAHB. MAHB will subsequently assign TWG 2 members to break-out groups on the basis of this ranking but it is not guaranteed that participants will be assigned to their most preferred topic. TWG 2 members will be informed of their group assignment prior to the meeting so that they may reflect in advance on what might be included in a CIC bulletin.

 NOTE 2. Each participant should prepare some bullet points for their break-out session topic on important elements that should be covered in the criteria. (It can be a list of items or some key elements. There is no one way to do it.) The CIC break-out session should then start with each participant presenting a brief summary of their bullets.
