70. As agreed during the last session of GRPE in June 2018 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/77, para. 61), the election for Vice-Chair was at the beginning of the session. The secretariat recalled an email sent in December 2018 reminding Contracting Parties about the vote during the January 2019 session of GRPE and that applications had not been received. The secretariat consequently proposed to GRPE to hold the election of officers for Chair and Vice-Chair(s), in compliance with Rule 37 of the Rules of Procedures (TRANS/WP.29/690, as amended), during the next session of GRPE in May 2019. GRPE agreed to this proposal.
