If the employer is unable to allocate sufficient funds, participants are encouraged to seek assistance from other sources. Where such demonstrated efforts to secure assistance have been unsuccessful, requests for assistance (i.e. travel and subsistence costs) from the IPPC Secretariat may be made. IPPC funds available to help assist attendance at meetings may be limited and if so the following priority for providing travel assistance will be followed. Exceptions are at the discretion of the IPPC Secretariat. The Criteria used for prioritizing participants to receive travel assistance to attend meetings organized by the IPPC Secretariat (criteria applied at the time they sign the statement of commitment) is available here: https://www.ippc.int/publications/criteria- used-prioritizing-participants-receive-travel-assistance-attend-meetings Annex 2A - Subsidiary Body on Dispute Settlement Membership Shaded rows indicate members whose term end in 2015 End of Nominated / Current term / FAO region Country Name current Re-nominated Duration term Mr George Similio CPM-6 (2011) 2nd term / 2 Africa Swaziland 2015 MAVIMBELA CPM-8 (2013) years Mr Chusak 1st term / 2 Asia Thailand CPM-9 (2014) 2016 WONGWICHAKORN years Ms Mennie CPM-7 (2012) 2nd term / 2 Europe Netherlands GERRITSEN- 2016 CPM-9 (2014) years WIERLARD Latin America 1st term / 2 Panama Mr Luis BENAVIDES CPM-8 (2013) 2015 and years Caribbean Mr Abdulah AL 1st term / 2 Near East Yemen CPM-9 (2014) 2016 SAYANI years North CPM-7 (2012) 2nd term/ 2 Canada Mr Steve CÔTÉ 2016 America CPM-9 (2014) years Southwest 1st term / 2 Samoa Ms Talei FIDOW CPM-9 (2014) 2016 Pacific years</p><p>Annex 2B-Subsidiary Body on Dispute Settlement Potential Replacements Shaded rows indicate members whose term end in 2015 End of Nominated / Current term / FAO region Country Name current Re-nominated Duration term 1st term / 2 Africa Gabon Ms Séraphine MINKO CPM-8 (2013) 2015 years Mr Mohamed AHSAN 1st term / 2 Asia Bangladesh CPM-9 (2014) 2016 ULLAH years Mr Benjamin CPM-7 (2012) 2nd term / 2 Europe France 2016 GENTON CPM-9 (2014) years Latin Mr James PAZO- 1st term / 2 America and Peru CPM-8 (2013) 2015 ALVARADO years Caribbean Mr Sulaiman CPM-5 (2010) 3rd term / 2 Near East Oman MAHFOUDH AL- CPM-7 (2012) 2016 years TOUBI CPM-9 (2014) North 1st term / 2 USA Ms Lottie ERIKSON CPM-8 (2013) 2015 America years Southwest New Zealand Mr Peter THOMSON CPM-8 (2013) 1st term / 2 2015 Pacific years </p>
