Progress report on the reflection on processes for mixed nominations

WHC-15/39.COM/9B

The present document was requested by the 38th session of the World Heritage Committee (Doha, 2014) by Decision 38 COM 9B. This decision acknowledged that the decision making processes as well as the evaluation of mixed sites nominations are more complex than those for sites nominated only under cultural or natural values and might require more time at the preparatory stage of the nomination.

This document presents a progress report concerning options for changes to the criteria and to the Advisory Body evaluation process for mixed nominations.
