42. GRSP noted that at its November 2025 session, WP.29 reaffirmed its objective to adopt all documents related to the review of existing UN Regulations related to Automated Driving Systems (ADS) at its June 2026 session and invited the Chairs of the Working Parties to consider various strategies to ensure timely preparation of the required documents. This corresponded to option 1 in informal document WP.29-197-25 and would require all proposals under this agenda item to be adopted by GRSP on this session.

4. The expert from Germany presented a status report on the activities of the Task Force on Emergency Door Opening (TF-EDO) (informal document GRSP-79-31), which had met twice since the last session of GRSP.
5. Given the need to amend two UN Global Technical Regulations (GTR), TF-EDO was planning to request AC.3 for authorization to amend UN GTRs and to request WP.29 and AC.3 to be upgraded from a Task Force (TF) to an Informal Working Group (IWG). The group had already presented these plans to WP.29 and AC.3 at their March sessions, where several delegates expressed support for the work of the task force, agreed on its importance and urgency and looked forward to receiving the formal request in the next session of WP.29. The expert from Germany also presented informal document GRSP-79-18 with draft terms of reference for the proposed IWG. Some delegations not currently involved in the work of the task force indicated their desire to join the work. Given the goal of amending several UN GTRs and in order to ensure that all relevant parties would be involved, the expert from Germany proposed to postpone the submission of the formal request to AC.3 to the November session. GRSP endorsed the creation of an IWG on EDO (IWG-EDO), pending the finalization of the terms of reference and the approval by WP.29 and AC.3. GRSP also endorsed the submission to the November 2026 session of AC.3 of a request for authorisation to amend UN GTRs Nos. 1 and 14 by one or more contracting parties to the 1998 Agreement.
6. The expert from Germany also presented draft amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 11 (informal document GRSP-79-19) and 21 (informal document GRSP-79-20) and several experts provided feedback.
12. Informal document GRSP-79-19 was discussed under agenda item 2. See paragraphs 4-6 for a summary of the discussions.
