The NRA Working Group (NRA-WG) will provide oversight and strategic direction in the development of the Controlled Wood NRA, specifically:
- Determining the geographical scope of the NRA;
- Gathering of information in relation to the five Controlled Wood categories;
- Determining scale for homogeneous risk designation;
- Designating of risk for each assessed Controlled Wood category and indicators; and
- Establishing Control Measures to mitigate ‘specified risk’ (where appropriate).
The National Risk Assessment Working Group (NRA-WG) will be composed of two individuals from each of its four chambers (Aboriginal, Economic, Environmental, and Social) with consideration of regional representation.
Candidates will be selected based on the following requirements:
- NRA-WG members shall possess an understanding of the CW system and/or expertise in one of the specific CW categories.
- NRA-WG members cannot be simultaneously appointed to any other FSC International committee or working group that relates to controlled wood;
- Members of the FSC International Board of Directors, FSC staff, FSC Network Partner staff, and certification bodies shall not be eligible;
- NRA-WG membership shall ideally be limited to those who do not have an employer in common with an FSC Canada board member to avoid conflicts of interest and increase organizational diversity; and
- A preference will be for FSC members to cultivate knowledge of the FSC system.
