Minor changes are defined as follows:

Any corrections to project information of a registered VPA/CPA that do not affect the design of the VPA/CPA
Temporary deviations from the registered monitoring plan for which alternative monitoring arrangements are proposed, if the proposed alternative monitoring arrangements produce a conservative estimate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction or net anthropogenic GHG removal
Changes to the monitoring of a registered VPA/CPA that have no material impact on the applicability of the applied methodologies or the other applied methodological regulatory documents, or the accuracy and completeness of the monitoring
Changes to the design of a registered VPA/CPA that do not adversely impact any of the following:

The applicability and application of the applied methodologies, the applied standardized baselines and the other applied methodological regulatory documents, under which the PoA has been registered;
The additionality of the VPA/CPA;
The scale of VPA/CPA

Changes to the VPA/CPA design to use the positive list for demonstrating additionality
