Call for Expression of Interest: Indonesia National Interpretation Task Force for 2024 RSPO Principles and Criteria (RSPO P&C)

On behalf of RSPO Members in Indonesia, RSPO extends this expression of interest to seek members and stakeholders who are keen to be part of the Indonesia National Interpretation Task Force for the 2024 RSPO Principles and Criteria. The National Interpretation (NI) process, as specified in the "RSPO Standard Operating Procedure for Standard Setting and Review (2020)", allows the general RSPO Standards to be contextualised at a national level upon request by RSPO Member(s).

Composition of the Indonesia National Interpretation Task Force

As guidance, the Indonesia NI TF should comprise 18 substantive representatives, or in a similar ratio by RSPO Membership category, as shown in the table below:

A substantive representative may also decide to nominate a deputy ("Alternate") who will participate only when the substantive member is absent from NI Task Force meetings.

The NI TF may consider inviting a number of technical experts to provide technical support for the group discussions. Relevant government representatives may also be invited, as well as other observers from relevant stakeholder organisations. Technical experts, government representatives, and all other observers have no decision-making power or vote in the process.

The deadline for submitting expression of interest is by close of business (COB) on Friday, 24 January 2025 (UTC +8).

If you wish to be part of the Indonesia National Interpretation Task Force, please send the following details to all the following RSPO focal point(s) for the Indonesia NI TF:
