Preamble
ICES PGBWK REPORT 2008
This report was primarily developed by an ad‐hoc planning group (see Appendix I for membership) that worked by web conference and correspondence. It was also influenced by important discussions with ACOM members during the week of 21 September at the ASC, and it has been revised to reflect decisions made by ACOM, in particular the stocks selected for benchmark. The ToRs for the benchmark groups will be developed based on the AMAWGC proposals from February 2008 and taking into account the model for a benchmark that was developed in ad‐hoc group.

IntroductionThe term benchmark refers to a stock assessment that is the result of an intense process to decide on the most appropriate scientifically defensible methodology taking account of biological knowledge, available data, and management needs. A Benchmark Workshop is an intense process for evaluating the current data and methodology and proposed im‐provements. It should include experts from outside of the ICES community to broaden the idea pool available as the basis of for a benchmark assessment and to enhance credi‐bility. The goal should be consensus agreement. Assessments are usually updated annually using the same methodology as the bench‐mark assessment with the additional years of data that have become available since the benchmark. Update assessments should not be conducted indefinitely as situations change. Typically, Benchmark Workshops should be conducted every few (e.g. 35) years to keep pace with changing situations. ACOM agreed that benchmark assessment methodologies should be decided in work‐shops conducted separately from sessions of expert groups that conduct assessments. The Terms of Reference for the Planning Group on Benchmark Workshops are: 1 ) Review previous planning for benchmark assessments workshops. 2 ) Consider the relationship between data compilation workshops and bench‐mark assessment workshops. 3 ) Describe how stakeholders should be engaged. 4 ) Describe the external experts should be involved. 5 ) Consider an approach to enhance integration and ecosystem considerations. 6 ) Consider requirements for a successful workshop. 7 ) Describe a set of Benchmark Workshops including a time table, ICES conven‐ers, and external participants. The Planning Group worked by web conference and by correspondence between 14 Au‐gust and 26 September. There was also an ad hoc meeting of ACOM members at the ASC in Halifax on 25 September. There was insufficient time for the Planning Group to adopt this report prior to action by ACOM. Therefore, this is a report of the Chair (Michael Sis‐senwine) rather than a Working Group report. However, the Chair has attempted, in good faith, to represent the views of the Working Group. A list of members of the Planning Group is given in Appendix I. The report is organized according to the terms of reference. It is a concise summary of conclusions rather than a record of the deliberations.

ICES PGBWK REPORT 2008
Review previous planning for benchmark assessments workshops
The Planning Group reviewed the 2008 report from AMAWGC which proposed six benchmark workshops; two in 2008 and four in 2009. AMAWGC proposed: • Holding Data Compilation Workshops (DCWS) immediately before bench‐mark workshops. It proposed one day for the data compilation portion of the Workshop. • That RACs organize focus groups in advance of DCWS to organize datasets that are proposed as input to assessments so that the datasets can be evaluated during Workshops. •That the results of Benchmark Assessment Workshops be subjected to external peer review. • That Benchmark Assessment Workshops should also be used as a vehicle for better integrating ecosystem information into assessments and fisheries advice. • A proposal for stocks to be benchmarked in 2009 (AMAWGC 2008). • Drafted guidelines for conducting Data Compilation Workshops and Bench‐mark Workshops (See Appendix III and IV).
