Clarifying requirements that stipulate who is allowed to make submissions for revision and clarification requests of approved methodologies

Carbon Market Watch requests that the CDM Executive Board define who can submit methodology revisions and clarifications, arguing that allowing all stakeholders—not just project participants—is essential for the integrity of the Clean Development Mechanism.

• The author argues that the ability to submit clarification and revision requests must be open to all stakeholders, rather than being restricted to project participants, to maintain the trust, credibility, balance, and integrity of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
• The document cites two specific submissions by CDM Watch to illustrate the value of input from parties without financial interests in projects: a request for clarification of methodology AM0001 (AM_CLA_0191), which remained unaddressed by the Meth Panel due to time constraints, and a request for revision of ACM13, which was rejected by the Secretariat without further explanation.
• Despite a July 2010 announcement at the 55th meeting that the Board would clarify submission requirements, the author states that the Board has not yet discussed the issue and the Secretariat is waiting for clear guidance from the Board.
