CLOSING PLENARY

Delegates met well into Saturday night due to drafting and translation delays. The Commission agreed on several matters related to preparations for Leipzig, including a provisional agenda and organization of work. They also agreed to forward the first ever comprehensive Report on the State of the World’s PGR. The report adopted by the Commission contained important gaps since the documents that were to be the main output of the session remained unresolved. Nonetheless, delegates agreed to a process for their resolution. Most notably, delegates endorsed Italy’s proposal that the working group meet immediately prior to the Leipzig Conference in order to further consolidate the GPA. The Commission adjourned its meeting at 2:00 am Sunday morning.
