On the recommendation of the Working Party on the Functioning of the Governing Body and the International Labour Conference, the Governing Body decided:

(i) a detailed analysis of the trial implementation of those reforms;

(ii) a first set of proposed amendments to the Standing Orders of the International Labour Conference on the issues identified as those on which a tripartite consensus had been reached but which required, for their implementation, amendments to the Standing Orders at the 103rd Session of the International Labour Conference (2014); and

(iii) additional information on pending issues requiring further consultations and discussion.
