<p class="MsoNormal">All,<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a development economist I want to raise a small point. The term “developing countries” is used nine times in the Draft. While the World Bank and others have dropped the term, it remains acceptable as a descriptor, but there may be a
problem for its use here. In some instances disagreements could arise with regard to eligibility to apply based on what decides who is, or is not, a developing country.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other settings now tend to use the formal term Low- and-Medium-Income-Countries (LMIC) where countries are classified by the World Bank (WB). Other organizations (UN, IMF, WHO, etc.) sometimes produce slightly different rankings.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suggest that we either adopt LMIC, or state that the term developing countries means LMIC, or pick another reference list. We do not want a Mechanism to have to struggle, in some instances, with what is or is not a qualifying applicant
country. (I note this still does not deal with occupied territories, breakaway states, and the other complexities of modern nationhood <span class="moz-smiley-s2"><span>:-(</span></span> )</p>
