90. The Secretary of the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) presented the highlights of the ninety-second session of the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety, focusing on items of interest to WP.29. He informed WP.29 that WP.1 had received a presentation by the representatives of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Experts Group (GTB) on direction indicator projections, followed by an exchange with the International Federation of Pedestrians. He also informed WP.29 about the activities of the WP.1 Informal Working Group on the Safe Use of Automated Vehicles in Traffic (SUAT), and the review of a document on remote activities related to driving. He recalled WP.29 discussion (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1188, para. 102) on potential inconsistencies in Annex 5 of the 1968 Vienna Convention. WP.1 was informed of this issue and noted that addressing such inconsistencies would be facilitated by a consolidated version of the Convention and requested the Chair and secretariat to explore its publication. The Chair of WP.29 confirmed Member States’ interest in such a publication, while the secretariat highlighted the associated linguistic and budgetary challenges.

91. WP.29 noted the information provided and invited the secretariat to revise the title of this recurrent agenda item to better reflect the substance of the discussions, namely WP.1 activities of relevance to WP.29 and WP.1/WP.29 cooperation.
