Notes
Item 4 (a) of the provisional agenda

Abstract
The purpose of this note is to provide an evaluation of Parties’ experience with the UNFCCC Guidelines and to raise questions for consideration with regard to any clarifications, additions and/or amendments to the UNFCCC Guidelines which may be required. The note recalls issues raised in relation to the Guidelines and their application which have been identified
in earlier sessions of subsidiary bodies and in documents prepared by the secretariat. It also invites discussion on the need for consideration of the possible timing and nature of further steps, taking into account the ongoing methodological work and submissions from Parties, as well as actions required under the Kyoto Protocol. For planning purposes, the secretariat has assumed that third national communications from Annex I Parties would be due in the 2000-2001 period. The SBI may wish to consider this issue with a view to making a recommendation to COP 4 on the timing of such communications
