Comment: "Status report sounds like a good idea. Better than White Paper in this context, I think, because (although I may be wrong) I think a white paper is normally an official government report setting out the government's policy to be submitted to Parliament, whereas this is an international organisation.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion!"

I know White Paper is used in tech, but could it be used in this context?
