strategy and the status of implementation of Board of Auditors recommendations, where
relevant, with regard to specific items of proposed expenditure;

non-judicial, administrative functions of the Chambers should be presented in a resultsbased format linking objectives and inputs to expected accomplishments to be measured by
indicators of achievement;

assessing contributions from defendants based on ability to pay and taking into account
revised definitions of indigence and partial indigence;
(e) The proposed post structure for the biennium 2004–2005 should reflect
