Project participants wishing to submit a new methodology must make this request in writing to the Executive Board. Once approved, a new methodology will be added to the list of small-scale afforestation and reforestation (SSC A/R) methodologies in 6/CMP.1, Annex, Appendix B:

Project participants willing to submit a new type of small-scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM or revisions to a methodology shall make a request in writing to the Executive Board providing information about the activity and proposals on how a simplified baseline and monitoring methodology would be applied to this type. The Executive Board may draw on expertise, as appropriate, in considering new project types and/or revisions of and amendments to simplified methodologies.

Once it is approved, the Executive Board shall amend appendix B (6/CMP.1, Annex, paragraph 8).
