How many <strong>of</strong> the 36 organisations and individuals invite<br />
actually participated in the process? A list would clarify<br />

Do the 36 organisations cover the environmental, social and<br />
economic interests in Uruguay?<br />
This question is about representation – 9) is the question for<br />
consensus. It should relate back to 6) for representation.<br />
I am unsure as to the Conforms rating for this question in<br />
light <strong>of</strong> my comment.<br />
Are the ‘Project Meetings’ the committee meetings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
STC-SFM? Whether it is or is not, it needs to be explained.<br />
Are the ‘UNIT’s operating procedure’ in fact the ISO/IEC<br />
Directive Part 1?<br />
A review <strong>of</strong> Minutes <strong>of</strong> STC-SFM meetings<br />
maintained by UNIT indicates that majority <strong>of</strong><br />
organisations were represented, although not<br />
consistently, over the 40 meetings held by<br />
STC-SFM to develop the Standards.<br />
Text modified to clarify the report.<br />
Unfortunately <strong>PEFC</strong> Uruguay could not locate<br />
original documentation.<br />
The list <strong>of</strong> organisations and persons invited<br />
to participate in STC-SFM (held by UNIT) was<br />
sighted during Field Visit and covers<br />
environmental, social and economic interests<br />
in Uruguay. Clarification text has been added.<br />
Text clarified to confirm that STC-SFM used<br />
consensus building procedures to provide<br />
balanced representation by diverse<br />
participants.<br />
Project meetings refer to STC-SFM. Wording<br />
<strong>of</strong> text has been clarified.<br />
UNIT’s operating requirements are consistent<br />
with ISO/IEC Directive, Part 1.<br />

Is there a specific document(s) which is/are the ‘UNIT’s<br />
standard setting processes’?<br />
Are the ‘UNIT statutes’ part <strong>of</strong> the other documents at 2.3,<br />
