IN THE CORRIDORS II

At this stage in the second week of INCD-10, there is speculation on whether it will be possible to resolve outstanding issues by its close on Friday. Some delegates say a document containing suggestions for the extended Bureau to meet either immediately before COP-1 in Rome in September, or earlier, is under preparation. Some suggested that extended Bureau meetings may be held during the Commission on Sustainable Development in April in New York, during the General Assembly’s Special Session in New York in June, and/or during ECOSOC in Geneva this summer. Some argued that remaining issues would require a larger meeting to be properly addressed.
