As provided for in the Decision Paper, the recommendations from the April 2008 session of the Sub-Committee will be communicated to all ICC voting members, and those members will be asked to adopt them by email within 20 days. All approved recommendations are final decisions. Unapproved decisions are referred for consideration at the next ICC meeting. 1.16. As provided for in the Decision Paper, in cases where the Sub-Committee considers a recommendation that would serve to remove accredited status from an applicant institution, the applicant institution is informed of this intention and given the opportunity to provide in writing, within one year of such notice, the documentary evidence deemed necessary to establish its continued conformity with the Paris Principles. The concerned institution retains its “A” status during this period. 1.17. The Sub-Committee continued to consult with relevant NHRIs and regional coordinating bodies, whenever necessary. This procedure was applied in several cases during the present session. Prior to the session, all concerned NHRIs were requested to provide a name and phone number in case the Sub-Committee needed to contact the Institution. In addition, OHCHR desk officers and, as appropriate, OHCHR field officers were available to provide further information, as needed. 1.18. The Sub-Committee would like to acknowledge the high degree of support and professionalism of the staff of the ICC Secretariat (OHCHR National Institutions Unit) which has been essential for the Sub-Committee to conduct its activities. 2. ADOPTION OF NEW PROCEDURES 2.1. In the ongoing effort to be more transparent, the Sub-Committee continued to develop new procedures. 2.2. The Sub-Committee agreed, commencing with its next session, to share the summaries prepared by the Secretariat with each NHRI before the consideration of its application and to give that NHRI one week to comment on the summary. All comments received, together with the summaries, are to be then sent to the members of the Sub-Committee. Once the recommendations of the Sub-Committee are adopted by the ICC according to the procedures, the summaries and the comments will be posted on the NHRI Forum (www.nhri.net). The summaries are prepared only in English, due to current financial constraints. 2.3. The Sub-Committee also considers information received from civil society.
