Another report of continuing efforts by International Coordination and Response Group (convened by Canada).

Have similar groups (that is, similar in purpose, functioning, or organization - or in all those attributes) been convened in prior incidents of military units shooting down civil transport category aircraft?

And this Group's appeal to ICAO leadership recently and the invocation of Annex 13 - this prompts a high degree of anticipation about the response (if any) by those ICAO officials, and action by ICAO out-front or behind the scenes (also, if any).

Also, about the perhaps pedantic question of how any manuevering by ICAO in any form would become a matter of record in the organization's massive "house of reports and documents". If there is a next such incident, OR if the organization's initiatives on conflict zones or IATA's or anyplace else's initiatives are to have successful preventative benefit - either outcome - having this Iran instance made a matter of record would seem an obvious necessity. I don't know that a legal--diplomatic--regulatory equivalence for "pointy end" exists, but still.
