• Consistency– Achieving a high level of consistency between IES– Identification of “common paragraphs” by taskforces has been a huge effort has

contributed significantly– A few minor inconsistencies to be followed on with taskforces this week to

understand rationale• Formatting

– Can mostly be dealt with by IFAC editorial at the end e.g,• Positioning of references to explanatory materials• Use of bold or italics in sub-headings

– Tables and figures – recommend we give these titles or number (e.g. Figure 1) and reference in the relevant paragraph

exposure– Target October meeting to issue ED showing transition to new

glossary (e.g. new, changed and retired terms)
