 note = {The fifteenth session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was held online from 14 to 18 December, 2020, as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. The meeting had only three-hour session per day and the agenda was minimized as much as possible to the report of the Evaluation Body on its work, examination of the reports of States Parties on the current status of elements inscribed on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, and others necessarily discussed at the session. The first fully online session was finalized one day earlier than the original date.
　　During the session, 29 elements of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) were inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (Representative List), including the element nominated by Japan, “Traditional skills, techniques and knowledge for the conservation and transmission of wooden architecture in Japan.” Regarding the number of nomination files treated at each session in the course of 2022-2023 cycles, the Committee decided that each session can treat at least 55 files. The Secretariat pointed out that the number of submitted files are increasing year by year, and reflection on the listing mechanism is necessary if the States Parties consider that all submitted files per year should be treated in the following cycle.
　　Not only being held as a fully online session, it was also the first time that the Report of the ICH NGO Forum was included in the agenda. The Committee Members acknowledged the recent efforts of the ICH NGO Forum in implementing the Convention, and expected the additional roles of accredited NGOs, such as the sharing of experiences of good safeguarding practices, the follow-up of inscribed elements, and the assessment of periodic reporting. In the light of this circumstance, the author considers that it is a pity that Japan has no accredited NGO for the moment. It is strongly hoped that Japanese academic societies and/or groups of practitioners become accredited NGOs for better implementation of the Convention with their experiences.},
