The Working Group monitored work on the second phase of the Transition Framework, EB 2018/125/R.7/Rev.1 [Arabic] [English] [French] [Spanish] which was presented to the Executive Board in December 2018. 

Upon completion of phase II, the Working Group would continue discussions to provide guidance to the Executive Board on items that are included in the Approach to a Transition Framework approved by the Executive Board in December 2017 that may not be covered in phases I and II because they require a longer time frame.
