15 It is envisaged that this proposal should be referred to the next sessions of the NAV Sub-
Committee (NAV 52) for initial consideration. It is further proposed that the issue should also
be considered by the subsequent meeting of the COMSAR Sub-Committee (COMSAR 11),
to discuss any communications- related issues. However, the consideration of the issue by this
Sub-Committee would be under the co- ordination of the NAV Sub-Committee. The Sub-
Committees should be requested to consider the issues with the aim of developing a strategic
vision with an associated work programme for taking this issue forward and report back to the
Maritime Safety Committee as soon as possible, and at the latest, by its eighty-fifth session at
the end of 2008.
