	Working Group 1 Co-Chair Wu Zhimin, UNFF11 Secretary Moncef Khane and Working Group 1 Co-Chair Srećko Juričić conferred


	UNFF11 met Friday, 8 May, to continue its deliberations in two working groups. Both Working Group 1, on the draft ministerial declaration “Future international arrangement on forests we want,” and Working Group 2, on the draft resolution “International arrangement on forests beyond 2015,” met throughout the day. Due to insufficient progress made in working group discussions, the stocktaking plenary was cancelled to allow these discussions more time. Working Group 2 discussions continued into the night.
	IISD Reporting Services, through its Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB), provided daily web coverage, daily reports, and a summary and analysis from the 11th Session of the UN Forum on Forests, in HTML and HTML.
