Thanks Finn47,
ICAO has just announced a two-day meeting in May, covering several topics mentioned here, such as new guidelines on ULBs and deployable flight recorders:
Quote:
"The unprecedented and unusual circumstances of flight MH 370 have been particularly difficult for civil aviation officials to resolve and the lack of definitive answers has been much harder still for the victims' families to come to terms with. They, above all, will benefit from a fuller explanation of this accident," he added.
Aliu also said ICAO recently added a new guideline on underwater locator beacon (ULBs) which will take effect in 2018.
ICAO’s Flight Recorder Panel is reviewing new methods to speed up process of determining accident sites, deployable flight recorders and the triggered transmission of flight data.
Furthermore reviews will be conducted on aviation security, travel documents as well as requirement for the transport of lithium batteries.

Lets hope they get some solutions and act on it. The fact they are looking at the Lithium Ion battery rules again is good as well. They were only re-written last year due the UPS- Dubai and the Asiana Cargo - Jeju Island accidents and have confused many.
