10. The expert from Australia, Chair of the IWG on Pole Side Impact (PSI), introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2013/7 and GRSP-53-05, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2013/2, as the official draft UN GTR proposed by his group. He also introduced the final progress report of the group (GRSP-53-04-Rev.1). The proposal received some comments such as GRSP-53-13, tabled by the expert from the United States and GRSP-53-19 by the expert from France. Moreover, the American expert raised a study reservation on the seating procedure for the World Side Impact 50th percentile male test dummy (WorldSID) (paras. 5.6 to 5.13 of Annex 2 of the text of the Regulation). GRSP also noted that a parallel proposal to the M.R.1 to introduce the WorldSID would be submitted at a later stage to GRSP and to WP.29 for adoption. It was agreed as a provisional solution to refer drawings and specifications of the dummy to the pertaining International Standard Organization (ISO) website. (http://standards.iso.org/iso/15830). Accordingly, it was agreed to seek guidance at the June 2013 session of WP.29/AC.2 on this subject. GRSP considered GRSP-53-23 consolidating all the changes agreed upon the discussion.

11. Finally, GRSP recommended ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2013/7, as amended by Annex II of the session report and GRSP-53-04-Rev.1 (final report of the IWG as reproduced in Annex II to the session report) for their establishment in the Global Registry. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal and its final report to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) for consideration and vote at its November 2013 session. GRSP also agreed to circulate by August 2013 a possible proposal for electronic ballot via e-mail to GRSP experts, tabled by the expert from the United States and concerning a revised test seating position of the WorldSID.

12. GRSP noted that some of its experts were more in favour at transposing the future UN GTR into a new UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement rather than amend UN Regulation No. 95. GRSP agreed to provide better guidance at its December 2013 session to the expert from Australia who had volunteered to undertake the task to develop a proposal.
