To: IPBES Members and Stakeholders
Subject: Call for nominations for members of the IPBES review panel

Dear IPBES Members and Stakeholders,

*We would like to request nominations by 2 January 2018, for members of the
review panel, to conduct the external element of the first review of
IPBES *(Intergovernmental
Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services).

The IPBES Plenary, at its 5th session (March 2017) approved terms of
reference for the review of IPBES (Decision IPBES-5/2
<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&id=dac24fa479&e=fe2a129752>).
The external element of the review will begin, subject to the availability
of funds, in March 2018, with the sixth session of the IPBES Plenary, and
end in May 2019, at the seventh session of the Plenary.

The review will evaluate:
   a. Implementation of the four functions of IPBES;
   b. Application of the operating principles of IPBES;
   c. Effectiveness of the procedures for the development of IPBES
deliverables;
   d. Effectiveness of the institutional arrangements of IPBES;
   e. Effectiveness of the IPBES task forces and expert groups;
   f. Effectiveness of the implementation of the financial and budgetary
arrangements;
   g. Effectiveness of processes for stakeholder engagement and
communication.

The review will be used as the basis for the development of a second work
programme for IPBES with lessons learned from the implementation of the
first work programme and recommendations that will enable IPBES to
strengthen implementation of its four functions and, ultimately, its
effectiveness as a science-policy interface.

The external element of the review will be conducted by a review panel
comprising up to 10 reviewers with a balanced composition of government
representatives, scientists and representatives of non-governmental
organizations.

Candidates should meet the following criteria:
   a. Relevant qualifications to conduct institutional reviews at the
global level;
   b. Demonstrated track record in working with science-policy interfaces
and in understanding the roles and functions of a global environmental
assessment process in general and of IPBES, in particular;
   c. Belonging to one of these three categories: government
representative, scientist, representative of a non-governmental
organization.

The members of the panel will be selected in response to these criteria  by
the Bureau in consultation with the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel. In
addition, candidates should be made aware that this work will represent a
significant involvement, estimated to be around 20% of their time, for the
period March 2018-May 2019, including attending three to four meetings
between March 2018 and May 2019. IPBES will provide financial support to
cover travel expenses of all members of the review panel, but will not
provide any honorarium.

The review panel will receive the administrative support of a professional
organization, which is being recruited through a separate call.

Candidates should fill in the online application form https://goo.gl/9tNzbz

Once candidates have submitted their information, the focal point of the
nominating IPBES member or organization will be notified and required to
finalize the nomination on behalf of the IPBES member government or
organization through the online system. IPBES members and stakeholders are
asked to kindly forward the link to the online system  https://goo.gl/9tNzbz

Ecosystem Services
