Following the successful Global Intergovernmental and Multi-stakeholder Consultation (IGMS) on GEO-6 held in Berlin (21-23 October 2014), where the structure and process for GEO-6 were agreed, UNEP invited governments and stakeholders to nominate experts to participate in the GEO-6 global and regional assessments.
Governments and stakeholders submitted their nominations for experts to participate in GEO-6 using the GEO-6 IGMS Community of Practice (CoP) nominations portal. Registration and UNEP verification were required to enter the IGMS CoP and access the nominations portal. The nominations portal required details to be submitted for both the nominee and the nominator including areas of expertise and roles in the assessment. Self-nominations were not accepted. The nomination process closed on 31 January 2015 but late nominations were accepted under mitigating circumstances.
