Quote:
The Board decided that for project activities with a
starting date on or after 02 August 2008, the project
participant must inform a Host Party DNA and/or the
UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the
project activity and of their intention to seek CDM
status. Such notification must be made within six months
of the project activity start date and shall contain the
precise geographical location and a brief description of
the proposed project activity. Such notification is not
necessary if a PDD has been published for global
stakeholder consultation or a new methodology proposed
to the Executive Board before the project activity start
date.
When validating a project activity with a start date on
or after 2 August 2008 DOEs shall ensure by means of
confirmation from the DNA or UNFCCC secretariat that
such a notification has been provided. If such a
notification has not been provided the DOE shall
determine that the CDM was not seriously considered in
the decision to implement the project activity.
Additionally for project activities for which a PDD has
not been published for global stakeholder consultation
or a new methodology proposed or request for revision of
an approved methodology is requested, every subsequent
two years after the initial notification the project
participants shall inform the DNA and/or the UNFCCC
secretariat of the progress of the project activity.

Decision-February 2008
REPORT
The Board noted that many proposed CDM project
activities in the energy sector in India seek to
demonstrate additionality by means of investment
analysis applying a benchmark of 16%, which is based
on tariff orders published in accordance with the Central
Electricity Regulation Commission. The Board is
concerned with the use of this value as a benchmark for
proposed CDM project activities, as this value is
used in tariff determination for CDM projects and for
non-CDM projects. Therefore the Board is of the
view
that this value is not a suitable benchmark.
