Timetable

Versions 1 - 3 including possible subversions will be submitted to the Executive Board.

In 2008 the General Assembly will be informed about the status of the project and version 1 will be presented.

Throughout 2009 the FIMM member societies will be informed about version 3. The working team of the HPB (or maybe just a subgroup) will work on specific inputs prior to the General Assembly. It is planned to submit version 3 for ratification to the General Assembly in September 2009.

After the 2009 General Assembly the official WHO registration process will begin (at this stage in­formational contacts with WHO will already have been established in order to get optimum guidance by the WHO authorities). This will lead to version 4. This again involves internal FIMM feedback procedures and a final ratification by the FIMM General Assembly.

Format of the report
The document will be presented in English.

Costs

Meetings are set in conjunction with official FIMM events such as the FIMM General Assembly. This shall reduce costs for FIMM as some of the HPB members will attend these meetings in their specific roles as a delegate of their FIMM member society and, therefore, part of their expenses are funded by other resources.

If FIMM funds do not allow paying for all listed expenses the first meeting (September 2008, Bulgaria) shall be omitted.

WHO Consultation

Once the FIMM General Assembly passed the final (pre-WHO-) version 3 the Assembly will have to decide on applying for a Consultation with the WHO.

By this time FIMM will also need to have established a plan for funding the WHO Consultation proc­ess. Additional shares by FIMM member societies might contribute to satisfy the need for special one-time funding of this project. Other solutions will have to be sought, too.
