Dear Friends,
Thank you to those who have already submitted feedback through the public consultation. As a reminder, you can access the draft consolidated Standard, governance model, assurance process, reporting and claims policy, and submit your feedback through the portal here. The documents and feedback system are available in eight languages.
Since our last update, we convened our first explanatory webinar which provided an opportunity to run through the different documents and answer any clarifying questions. A recording of the webinar and a summary Q&A can be viewed here.
We will be convening a second explanatory webinar on 21 November at 8:00 GMT and 16:00 GMT to accommodate different time zones. You can register here.
Finally, like many of you, we’ve been at COP16 and want to thank all of those who came to our sessions and engaged with us on the Initiative. We will be at a number of events in next few months including COP29 in Azerbaijan, IGF’s AGM in Geneva, and Resourcing Tomorrow in London – we hope to see you there.
Updates on events and the sessions we are taking part in can be found on the CMSI website: https://miningstandardinitiative.org/events/. Please let us know if you’ll be there – we’d love to engage in person.
Best wishes,
Antonia on behalf of the Initiative Partners
