- Secretariat requests comments from members providing a 3 month response time.
- Comments sent to WG who amend/improve the draft. Steps 3-4 are repeated until the WG feels that the document has been finalised and is ready for approval of the Forum.
- Final draft approved by APLMF via on-line vote (with a 1 month response time) or vote at Forum meeting.
