25. The GRVA Secretary presented WP.29-189-18, a note by the secretariat based on the working paper ITS-05-02 prepared as a background note for the fifth session of the IWG on ITS, a special session organized upon request by WP.29. He reported that IWG received other presentations and liaison statements from standard developing organizations, and that the discussions were fruitful. He invited WP.29 to discuss further steps.

26. The representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Co-Chair of the IWG on ITS, explained that the Co-Chairs of the group proposed that a task force be established under the IWG on ITS to further analyse the potential role of WP.29 in vehicular communications. He explained that the group would not be a substitute to GRVA as a drafting body for technical provisions in that field but that more exploration was needed and more of these focused sessions would support that workstream. The experts from the Netherlands, ITU, OICA and SAE International shared supporting views.

27. WP.29 agreed to establish a Task Force under the IWG on ITS and to transmit
WP.29-189-18/Rev.1 to the task force.
