ECOSOC:
At its meeting in New York from 27 June - 29 July
1994, the Economic and Social Council will review the report of the
CSD. It is also possible that ECOSOC will address the issue of
changing the timing of the elections of the CSD Bureau. A number of
governments support rescheduling the elections from the beginning
of the annual CSD session to the conclusion of the session. This
way the Bureau can participate in the intersessional activities in
preparation for the next CSD session and preside over that session
before turning over the reigns to the next Bureau. Some developing
countries are concerned, however, that this change would give
Germany a second session as CSD Chair. If this is to take place,
ECOSOC will need to change the CSD's rules of procedure or adopt a
resolution.
