Options for national participation Overview l +1. Offline Participation (email, fax, etc. ) – Options for national participation Overview l +1. Offline Participation (email, fax, etc. ) – May be appropriate in absence of reliable computer hardware and software – Not preferable because of difficulties with: • Validation of information (by the SCBD rather than the BCH-NFP) • Timeliness (e. g. , Article 11. 1 decisions must be registered within 15 days; delays in retrieval of information) • Removes ownership and control of information

Options for national participation Mixing options l Different options may be chosen for different Options for national participation Mixing options l Different options may be chosen for different sources or type of information. – E. g. The BCH Crawler (option 3) may be used to submit information on decisions to the BCH while the BCH Management Center is used to enter other types of information such as Competent National Authorities and Laws and Regulations.
