25. The World Forum recalled the oral report of the Chair of GRRF, given during the 152nd session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1087, paras. 27 to 32) and approved the report.

27. The GRRF Chair informed WP.29 about the results achieved by GRRF during its sixty-eighth session (for more details see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/68).

28. He added that GRRF had agreed that, subject to the consent of WP.29, the terms of reference of the informal group on an alternative method to assess the vehicle electronic stability control (AMEVSC) should be extended to include vehicles of categories N2 and N3 in its work. WP.29 gave its consent.

29. The Chair recalled that for the new Regulation on lane departure warning systems (LDWS) examples of national road marking layouts should be provided to GRRF for integration into the draft Regulation. He invited the representatives to send this information in due time for consideration at the forthcoming GRRF session in February 2011.

30. He sought guidance from WP.29 on the possibility to start the proper session of GRRF half a day later (starting on Tuesday morning, on 1 February 2011) to allow the informal group on automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning systems (AEBS/LDWS) to convene on Monday. WP.29 gave its consent.

31. He informed the World Forum that GRRF was considering setting up an informal group on automatic coupling devices under Regulation No. 55. The World Forum authorized such an informal group, subject to the submission to WP.29 of the appropriate terms of reference, which should include the expected time period to complete the work.

32. The World Forum noted that Mr. Yarnold (United Kingdom) had been re-elected GRRF Chair for the 2011 sessions.
