During its first meeting on 23‐25 August 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland, the Board discussed document GCF/B.01‐12/02 Additional Rules of Procedure of the Board. In this context, a number of questions were raised, including on matters such as the role of Co‐Chairs, the duration of the term of Board members and alternate members and their respective roles and possible replacement or termination, and the role of advisers. Matters discussed relating to Board procedures, such as the frequency and the form of Board meetings and the time of speaking at meetings, whether there should be decisions in‐between meetings, how to build consensus, and what principles should be followed in voting if, despite all efforts, consensus cannot be reached. Questions were also raised concerning the disclosure of information, including Board documents, webcasting and video recording, conflict of interest and disclosure of the financial assets of Board members and alternate members. Additional comments were received after the meeting in writing. This document was prepared in response to these comments.

The proposed revised Additional Rules of Procedure are attached as annexes to this document. As suggested by Board members, the overall approach adopted has been to limit the content of the Additional Rules of Procedure to a minimum. Thus, several matters are not addressed in this document and will be addressed in specific documents on conflict of interest, disclosure of information and other matters, such as the role of advisers. These matters will be discussed at future meetings of the Board. It should also be noted that some of the provisions included in the draft Additional Rules of Procedure will only be implemented at future Board meetings after the adoption of these Rules. Some of these, such as the provision of interpretation, translations of the reports and funding the travel costs of advisers, will have budgetary implications when implemented.
