Acuerdo sobre la Conservación de Albatros y Petreles

In the absence of standard procedures to guide the initial phases of the nomination process of new species, particularly in relation to the information to be provided, and the process to be followed by the Advisory Committee in undertaking its evaluation of this information, the Secretariat proposes formalising the process followed for the four species most recently added to the Annex, and formally endorsing the criteria for choosing candidate species previously presented in AC3 Doc 18.
