Stakeholder identification

The short-term actions include (1) establishment of a priority list of substances for further evaluation of their role in endocrine disruption monitoring levels of suspect chemicals in food and the environment (2) identification of vulnerable groups of people (such as children) who need to be given special consideration (3) establishment of an international network to enable information exchange and coordination of research and testing and (4) communication with the public and continuing consultation with stakeholders. 

The activities assist in the identification of stakeholders, public aspects, energy concepts, technologies, non-technological issues and road-map type of actions. 

Risk assessment starts with risk identification, a systematic use of available information to identify hazards (i.e., events or other conditions that have the potential to cause harm). Information can be from a variety of sources including stakeholders, historical data, information from the literature, and mathematical or scientific analyses. Risk analysis is then conducted to estimate the degree of risk associated with the identified hazards. This is estimated based on the likelihood of occurrence and resultant severity of harm. In some risk management tools, the ability to detect the hazard may also be considered. If the hazard is readily detectable, this may be considered a factor in the overall risk assessment. Risk evaluation determines if the risk is acceptable based on specified criteria. In a quality system environment, criteria would include impact on the overall performance of the quality system and the quality attributes of the finished product. The value of the risk assessment depends on how robust the data used in the assessment process is judged to be. The risk assessment process should take into account assumptions and reasonable sources of uncertainty. Risk assessment activities should be documented. 

Demonstrable Traceability. Proposed pharmacometric enterprise capabilities and assets must constitute demonstrable solutions to the strategic, technical, and infrastructure requirements entailed by stakeholder aims. This in turn mandates an enterprise design, or architecture, that is provably traceable to the mission requirements. This enterprise architecture requires the identification of the needs and requirements stemming from mission definitions, synthesis of system element designs entailed by the needs and requirements, and an evaluation process based on measures of acceptability. 

There are three key requirements for the security services of the new healthcare system in terms of these stakeholders (1) protection of privacy for individual stakeholders to manage their consent, under their direct control, for other stakeholders access to their personal information (2) security that includes identification, authentication, authorization, data confidentiality, data... 

By automated identification of antagonistic indicators with the WHASSE software, immanent conflicts in the evaluation matrix can be discovered in a convenient way, and thus the advantages and disadvantages of each option under discussion can be named. The precise knowledge about antagonisms supports the stakeholders decision process as further discussions can focus on these immanent evaluation conflicts. The methodologically strategy how to solve these conflicts is one of the most crucial steps of the evaluation process (Strassert 1995). 

During the whole process it is important to involve stakeholders, to ensure that dieir interests and views are correctly understood in the problem identification and problem solution phases. They must also share the conceptual understanding of the system and have confidence in the scientific basis of the assessments of the programme of measures. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the uncertainty in the different steps and tools used, for instance in the model simulations and in the data collected. Other factors such as social aspects, socioeconomics and restrictions in terms of economy, etc. have to be taken into account in the implementation plan. Stakeholder involvement and uncertainty assessments are not shown as individual steps in die flow chart in Figure 4.1.1, because they should be considered through the whole process. 

The aim and optimum result of this step is identification of a set of measures (programme of measures) which are perceived as a fair trade-off between different stakeholders interests, without encountering anyone s opposition and taking Articles 4.5-7 of the WFD into account (see Hattermann and Kundzewicz, 2007). If such an alternative cannot be found, another possibility is to identify the alternatives that hve... 

SCOREPP is looking at a wider selection of pollutants, including all tlie priority pollutants and an additional list of relevant pollutants. This project will develop appropriate strategies to reduce emissions from urban areas into the receiving waters. The activities include the identification of sources in urban areas, the identification of measures, assessing their cost-effectiveness, and the validation of the strategies on a number of selected case studies. Interaction with relevant stakeholders is also an integral part of the project. 

Rapid, on-site analysis for directing detailed sampling regimes and on the spot decisions for soils shift operations. Increased confidence in the transferability of laboratory-validated treatment techniques to the field. Identification of opportunities and constraints for individual techniques under heterogeneous conditions. Improved stakeholder dialogue and involvement in decisions regarding site investigation assessment and remediation. 

Identification of key stakeholders (e.g., vendors, logistic service providers (LSPs), emergency resporrse providers, cnstomers)... 

Identification and Prioritization Consists of (1) cataloging the hazardous materials and modes of transportation, (2) identifying sensitive areas and potential points of failure along the transit route, and (3) understanding interactions with other stakeholders in the supply chain. This process enables the identification of shipments that may require special attention, including escalating issnes/scenarios for more detailed risk analysis. 

The OECD could contribute to the identification of appropriate policy practice by monitoring and evaluating developments in policy approaches to organic agriculture, including market-based approaches, and facilitating dialogue with stakeholders. ...
