2.2 DGCA CONFERENCE
2.2.1 The critical need for increased attention to global aviation safety led to the convening of a conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in November 1997. These civil aviation leaders from around the world gathered to address the problem identified through the ICAO Safety Oversight Assessment Programme and to develop a strategy for enhancing the global capacity for safety oversight.
2.2.2 The DGCA Conference resulted in unanimous agreement to significantly change the mandate of the safety oversight programme. The Conference made a total of 38 recommendations, the most
significant being:
a) that regular, mandatory, systematic and harmonized safety audits be introduced, to
include all Contracting States and to be carried out by ICAO;
b) that greater transparency and increased disclosure be implemented;
c) that the programme be expanded to include other technical fields at the appropriate time;
and
d) that the ICAO Council ensure the allocation of adequate resources for the implementation of the audit programme.
