Proposal to establish an informal working group on Exchange of scenario-relevant information (ESRI) as a subsidiary body of GRVA to develop procedures facilitating the sharing of DDT-relevant building blocks and knowledge from performance analyses and incident investigations, to structure such information to support scenario development and use, to propose means for managing and publicly sharing information in accordance with WP.29 procedures, and to provide recommendations for application and management, with outcomes to be presented within two years from approval to form the IWG by GRVA.

The workshop on scenarios discussed scenario-related information-sharing procedures and exchange, including to facilitate implementation of regulations using scenario-based assessments, develop administrative procedures to gather scenario-related information from CPs and NGOs, identify useful information to share, and clarify scenario use needs. At the same time, the workshop explicitly excluded activities such as creating a scenario catalogue and/or database, developing regulatory scenarios, and developing methodologies to create and derive scenarios for regulatory purposes. The group discussed whether scenarios work should operate as a dedicated working group under GRVA or as part of an existing group, considering resource constraints and the importance of supporting WP.29 activities like ADS and ADAS regulations.
