9. Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The CEC was created in 1994 by the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC), concluded by Canada, Mexico, and the United States as a side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The CEC’s mission is to facilitate collaboration among the three countries and encourage public participation to foster conservation, protection, and enhancement of the North American environment. The CEC is comprised of a Council, the Secretariat, and the Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC). The Council is composed of cabinet-level environmental officials from each of the NAAEC parties; the Secretariat, headed by an executive director, implements a cooperative work program on various North American environmental matters; and JPAC is a fifteen-member advisory body to the Council. On 27–8 June, the Council held its twenty-fourth regular session, with this year’s focus on innovation for clean growth with a focus on North American youth. To mark Canada’s 150th anniversary, the 2017 CEC Council session took place in the birthplace of Canadian Confederation—Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The Council issued a call for proposals through the community grant (NAPECA) program; announced the winners of the CEC Youth Innovation Challenge; consolidated its engagement with the Roster of Experts on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK); and approved cooperative work projects. The United States agreed to chair the CEC Council for the coming year and announced that it will host the 2018 CEC Council Session in Oklahoma City.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
