  1. Why FSC’s procedure FSC-PRO-01-001 V3-1 The Development and Revision of FSC Normative Documents needs to be streamlined, and 

  1. How these two initiatives are linked and what can be expected from these processes.

The consultative forum is not a decision-making body and has no formal responsibilities.
