List of Documents for the Second Meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice

(Note: The International Institute for Sustainable Development - IISD - has volunteered to convert and post the official documentation for this meeting of SBSTTA. We have provided them in three formats:

• HTML: These are the WWW pages. They include all the tables and .jpg screen-shots of the complicated figures.
• PDF: These files have been converted directly from the original Wordperfect, converted to Word 7.0 and printed to a postscript printer emulation, creating a .prn file. This file has been further converted into Adobe's Portable Document Format and optimized using the new Acrobat Exchange 3.0 beta 1. For viewing of this file you need to have the free reader software, Adobe Acrobat Reader (also available as a plug-in for Netscape and Internet Explorer).
• Original: These are the files as we receive them from the Secretariat. I'm pretty sure that they are formatted in Wordperfect for the DOS or Windows environment.)
