The article presents the Report of the Sub-Committee on the Revised Management Procedure (RMP) of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) about its agendas and other issues discussed at the IWC Scientific Committee Annual Meeting in Agadir, Morocco from May 30 to June 11, 2010. An update on the Third Intersessional Workshop on the Review of Maximum Sustainable Yield Rate (MSYR) for Baleen Whales in Seattle, Washington in April 2010 is provided. The sub-committee decided that the range for MSYR values in the RMP should be finalised first before completing discussions on amendments to the Catch Limit Algorithm (CLA). Other topics include the sub-committee's work plan for the 2011 Annual Meeting and its recommended changes to abundance estimates for Central North Atlantic minke whales.
