Recommendations to the SC
The SC is invited to:

(1)    Agree that Ms Laurence BOUHOT-DELDUC (France) be
       renewed as TPG member for French for another five-year
       term, starting in January 2019.
(2)    Examine further how Outline of requirements are written in
       current draft standards, taking into account the above
       discussion in section 2.2.
(3)    Agree that the TPG propose ink amendments to adopted
       ISPMs to avoid the use of the term “commodity class”.
(4)    Add the term “commodity” to the List of topics for IPPC
       standards.
(5)    Note the General recommendations on use of terms in ISPMs
       as presented in Appendix 4 of the 2017-12 TPG report.

(6)   Review and approve the ink amendments proposed by the TPG to
      ensure a consistent use of “contamination” and its derivatives in
      adopted ISPMs, as presented in tables 1, 2 and 3 of document
      05_SC_2018_May .
(7)   Note the TPG work plan 2018-2019 (as presented in Appendix 6 of
      the 2017-12 TPG report) and the work performed by the TPG over
      the last year.
(8)   Consider the possibility of allowing submissions, during the call for
      topics “Standards and Implementation”, of terms to be worked on by
      the TPG at the exclusive decision of the SC, including terms that are
      not used in ISPMs (e.g. terms used in IPPC manuals), taking into
      account the above discussion (see section 5.3).
(9)   Agree that the TPG review and finalize the draft explanatory
      document on ISPM 16 (Regulated non-quarantine pests: concept
      and application).
