 the implementation phase and 2. in case how this role could be characterised. There was unanimous consensus that the implementation of the 3 proposals which the ICG combined to a single one should lie in hands of the operational communities. The ICG understands
 that the OCs will determine the implementation processindetail. If it turns out from these discussions that ICG involvement is needed (as oversight or any other form of participation) the ICG would be open to those requirements.<br>
