AE/DOE Forum

The AE/DOE Forum (applicant entity/designated operational entity Forum) was established by the Executive Board as a means to enhance the channels of communication between the Board and DOEs and to provide guidance on decisions and clarifications on specific issues in a timely manner (EB 31, paragraph 12).

The Forum was also intended avoid the deliverables of DOEs being compromised by potential conflicts of interest (EB Report COP/MOP 2 Addendum Pt 1, paragraph 9).
