Recommendations of the CMC-1: • CMC comprised of one representative each from: ROCW Chair PNA aligned countries non-PNA aligned countries FFA SPC WCPFC • SPC chairs and provides secretariat services to the CMC • SPC coordinates auditing and monitoring of PIRFO standards under CMC guidance • Independent consultant develops a recognised international governance framework under which the CMC can legitimately and transparently operate, including terms of reference for the CMC WP 6: Long-term strategy for observer training and support to the region 24

Recommendations for future support of PIRFO: • Identify 3 -4 suitable PIRFO basic training institutions - provide support to create full PIRFO training capacity • Develop PIRFO website for all PIRFO career framework - hosted and moderated by the OFP • Continue to organise Trainers workshops and ROCWs • Monitor ER and EM developments to ensure seamless incorporation into observer activities WP 6: Long-term strategy for observer training and support to the region 25

Heads of Fisheries are asked: • to endorse the above recommendations, and • to adopt a regional cost-recovery mechanism to fund regional observer coordination and support activities (e. g. : a regional observer support levy, when seeking annual renewal on the FFA vessel register) • to give thought to the future design of a PIRFO support framework – make-up, tasks and location WP 6: Long-term strategy for observer training and support to the region 26
