8. AC.2 welcomed the work done by the Chairs of GRs on strategic planning and asked the Chairs to identify their top three priorities and to provide the associated timelines. AC.2 requested the secretariat to prepare a pre-filled template containing the priorities as well as items for maintaining existing regulations, that each Chair would use for this exercise. AC.2 agreed that this document would be the basis for establishing the programme of work for 2020.
