Participants can also discuss possible options for adopting additional CBMs at a global level; have an exchange of best practices.

- How do regional organizations approach the development in implementation of CBMs at the regional level? What are the fundamental similarities and differences?
- What did OSCE and OAS deliver in terms of CBM implementation and cross-regional information exchanges? Views of non-governmental stakeholders.
- With respect to the draft “CBM” section of the OEWG pre-draft report (points 45-52), are there any notable omissions, or statements with which you disagree?
