What is the role of Review Editors?

To help ensure that Reports provide a balanced and complete assessment of current information,
each Working Group/Task Force Bureau should normally select two to four Review Editors per chapter (including the executive summaries) and per technical summary of each Report.

Review Editors should normally consist of a member of the Working Group/Task Force Bureau, and an independent expert based on the lists provided by governments and observer organisations. Review Editors should not be involved as authors or reviewers for material for which they are a Review Editor. In selecting Review Editors, the Bureaux should select from developed and developing countries and from countries with economies in transition, and should aim for a balanced representation of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views.
