Dear Steering Committee members, Further to the 2017 GBEP meetings (Rome, 28 November - 1 December 2017), the Activity Group 8 (Advanced Liquid Biofuels), under the Working Group on Capacity Building, was asked to submit a revised scope of work, focusing on the comparative strengths of GBEP, such as sustainability and capacity building, with relation to other relevant initiatives and opportunities for collaboration. This revised scope of work, which represents the results of a consultation process with Partners and Observers, is attached. By means of this e-mail, we kindly ask that the Steering Committee might approve this Activity Group electronically prior to the GBEP meetings (27-29 November 2018), to allow the AG8 to begin its activities. Therefore, we would like to kindly invite you to express any strong concern you might have by Friday 26 October, after which time we would consider the Scope of Work of AG8 approved.
