Inclusion of Partners
Other stakeholders who are not yet Partners but are interested in participating in the implementation of the SDS-SEA may request for inclusion as a Partner of PEMSEA by sending a written notification to the Executive Director of the PEMSEA Resource Facility of:
- its adherence to the Partnership Agreement and the Partnership Operating Arrangements, and the policies and decisions of the Council, and
- agreeing to enter into a partnership arrangement with PEMSEA through a Memorandum of Agreement or similar instrument on the implementation of the SDS-SEA.
Upon receiving the required written notification from the stakeholder, the Executive Director will submit a report concerning the request to the next meeting of the Executive Committee, together with the relevant information on the requesting stakeholder. The Executive Committee will decide whether or not to include the requesting stakeholder as a partner of PEMSEA.
The EAS Partnership Council may modify the qualifications and procedures for the inclusion of Partners and withdrawal by Partners when in deems appropriate.
