Membership 5. The Providers’ Forum will be open to States Members of the United Nations that are or will be global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) providers. (...) Additional Member States who become GNSS service providers will be invited to join the Providers’ Forum upon consensus of the current members. (...) The Providers’ Forum may revise these terms of reference on the basis of proposals made by members and adopted by consensus. 10 A/AC.105/928 Annex IV ICG/PF/WP/DEC2008 Workplan of the Providers’ Forum In order to accomplish the objectives of the Providers’ Forum as described in the terms of reference, the members of the Providers’ Forum have agreed to pursue the following actions.

These very small-scale water providers are in fact the major water providers to the poor in very remote areas or in informal settlements. 36. (...) Further, as informal service providers tend to be unregulated, they charge prices determined by what the market will bear or by price-fixing between providers, rather than by considerations of affordability. (...) Since 2004, 118 water service providers have registered, including small-scale providers, community-based organizations and non- governmental organizations, but many providers are still unregistered.

International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers 23. Through a Swiss-led multi-stakeholder initiative, the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers came into being in November 2010. (...) For example, in one country, the company provided training to security providers due to the lack of skilled and qualified workers. (...) There are, however, also challenges for Swiss representations operating in countries with little or no Association membership among security providers and where qualified security providers can be hard to find.

Methodologies for outcome measurement are at earlier stages of development by climate finance providers than those for output measurement. 8. (...) MDBs mobilized 57 per cent of total estimated private climate finance, followed by bilateral providers and multilateral climate funds. SIDS and the LDCs received 1 and 8 per cent respectively of total private finance mobilized. (...) Reported expected and actual results from climate finance providers indicate an increase in portfolio-level emission reductions and number of beneficiaries reached.

Service management models and service providers 22. The water sector in Portugal is organized into two main levels. (...) At the bulk level, there are 11 water service providers and 9 sanitation service providers. Under Decree-Law No. 72/2016, the service provisions at the bulk level are under the jurisdiction of the State through the multi-municipal systems. (...) In addition to the level at which the water and sanitation service providers engage, the providers are distinguished according to different management models.

Scrutiny of financial operations of private providers of education ....................................... 15 E.

There could be several parties that contribute to or provide part of an IdM service (e.g., trust providers, registrars, enrolment agents, credential service providers, stewards, authentication providers, hubs, etc.). (...) Draft Article 25: Liability for trust service providers We think this section needs to be reconsidered. (...) These third parties in reliance on the IDM and trust services systems would not normally have any power to choose the providers and therefore would have to rely on assurances of providers outside the jurisdiction of the enacting state.

Those levels of coverage show that service providers are capable of effectively promoting implementation of the rights to water and sanitation. (...) The Special Rapporteur was informed that there is no quality surveillance of informal water providers by the Ministry of Health, which is a cause for concern in view of the prevalence of such providers in Mexico to supplement insufficient public services. 32. (...) The Special Rapporteur ascertained that those who receive no service or poor service by their providers are those who experience the highest economic and social impact, since they are compelled to rely on expensive alternative or supplementary ways of accessing water, such as bottled water, water trucks and informal providers.

Financial sustainability of service providers 18. In order to address the financial sustainability of service providers, the reform resulted in the creation of a water asset management company, a Government-owned entity responsible for water asset management. (...) The National Water Services Commission requests providers to develop a three-year plan. It provides institutional support linked to the achievement of agreed performance indicators. (...) The informal providers play the role of monitoring water quality, not supplying water when it looks muddy or when the colour changes.

The law thus encourages telecommunications service providers to take voluntary measures in such cases. Upon legislation of the Providers Liability Restriction Law, at a conference consisting of telecommunications industry associations, etc. held in May 2002, the “Guidelines concerning defamation or privacy violation under the Providers Liability Restriction Law” were established. In the guidelines, action standards for telecommunications service providers were clarified in cases where telecommunications service providers are requested to block the transmission of the information concerned by a person claiming to have had his/her reputation slandered or his/her privacy infringed because of information distribution by specified telecommunications.
