Synopsis (short abstract) Following the success of the workshops, at the 31st session of NAFC, the Commission approved the establishment of an ad hoc working group to explore further how the NAFC partners might combine their respective forest management expertise and capacities to promote legal timber trade and combat illegal trade. The Commission requested the Bureau of Alternates (BoA) to take the lead on establishing this working group, including requesting that each country identify potential members, and ensuring that a working group meeting is held to develop and formalize the group charter and work plan. The working group was officially established immediately following the 31st session of NAFC. In the following year, the working group developed both the work plan and charter, which were finalized in March of 2023.
