 Hi, Paul Stacey here. I'm at UNESCO Headquarters. In their days as part of an Intergovernmental Meeting of Experts looking to finalize the UNESCO Open Education Resources draft recommendation. The whole idea is to bring forward to its General Assembly in November an OER draft recommendation for adoption by all countries around the world and there's a meeting of this group here over these last two days. It's May 27th and 28th here in Paris to basically look at how to define an OER recommendation that could be adopted by countries all around the world. There's really four main sections to the draft OER recommendation. I feel privileged of course to to have some input into what it says. The four main sections are first a section dealing with the definition and scope of what we mean by open education resources and the scope of the draft draft recommendation itself. There's a second section that deals with the aims and objectives of the draft recommendation and then a third section that looks at the action plan associated with what the recommendation says and then a final section that deals with monitoring. Maybe worth highlighting just some of what the action plan items are because I think that's really where the heart of the draft OER recommendation is and so there's a number of actual areas of action. Let me just read them out to you. Building capacity of stakeholders to create access, use, adapt and redistribute open education resources, the development of supportive policy for open education resources, encouraging inclusive and equitable quality open education resources and then nurturing the creation of sustainable models for open education resource development and use which is something I've been able to actively contribute to and then finally facilitating international cooperation around open education resources. So those are the main areas of action. The process is quite a rigorous one in terms of defining the draft OER recommendation. There's lots of representative countries here and each section of the draft recommendation is put forward for discussion and for suggestions for changes. If there are any, then it's asked whether they accept the changes and there's a kind of process of consensus that's used to build out the final version of this draft recommendation and then those of us who are observers can also of course contribute suggestions and changes and improvements to what the draft recommendation should say. It's quite a quite an awesome experience of course to be involved in a process like this and I'm really hopeful that the draft recommendation um I'm sure it will be finalized today and when it goes forward for adoption at the General Assembly in November that it's adopted by all countries around the world.
