It is really a big improvement. However, I think it is still a one way communication from WHO to member states. You should also think of an active mechanism to receive member states suggestions for revising the list, e.g. by receiving recommendations through a pre design forms. Although you may receive many "raw" suggestions, you will find some good suggestions too. In addition involving the member states even in selection procedure will increase their will to implant the list more actively. Looking forward to seeing you again Regards A.
