Only credentialed individuals will receive the Zoom links to join the meetings. Credentials should be submitted to the Secretariat ASAP, but no later than 15 days before each meeting to [email protected]. Credentials for MPF applicants are required earlier.
Contracting Parties & Cooperating Non-contracting Parties (CPCs) Each CPC is requested to provide a letter of credentials signed by the appropriate Authority indicating who will attend in-person and who should receive the Zoom link. The credentials should also include the email address and contact phone number for each person. It is important to duly authorise the alternate as shown in Appendix I, paragraph 3.
Observers IOTC Observers are also requested to submit a similar Letter of Credentials indicating who will attend in-person and who should receive the Zoom link. The credentials should also include the email address and contact phone number for each person.
Meeting Participation Fund The participation of one representative from developing Members of the IOTC to meetings will be supported through the IOTC Meeting Participation Fund (MPF). • Applications to participate in the TCMP must be received by the IOTC Secretariat ([email protected]) no later than 45 days in advance of the meeting. • Applications to participate in the CoC, SCAF and Commission meetings respectively must be received by the IOTC Secretariat ([email protected]) no later than 60 days in advance of the meeting.

The rules of procedure for the administration of the MPF as well as guidelines for applying to the MPF can be found in Appendix VIII of the IOTC Rules of Procedure. Please be reminded that there is no provision in these rules for the IOTC Secretariat to consider late applications to the MPF.
