The Working Group on Implementation (IMP WG) will review the recommendations of the other working groups (GHG, Environmental Impacts, and Social Impacts) to ensure that any draft standards are easy to implement and measure so that they are accessible by small-scale and other low-income farmers and all sizes of companies. We will also make recommendations on future steps for the Roundtable, such as the potential value of independent third party certification. We will work via a combination of teleconferences, online discussions, and regional meetings. The second IMP Working Group teleconference will be held on February 21st, 2008.
