IN THE CORRIDORS

NGOs met Wednesday evening to discuss the mobilization and facilitation of NGOs in the Summit. They decided that: the Danish Host Committee and NGLS should organize an NGO briefing session at the start of the next session; NGLS should oversee funding for Southern NGO participation; the idea of an NGO Secretariat to facilitate intersessional and other inputs should be discussed at the next session, if it is found to be necessary. The decision to have a facilitating group comprising people from various regions, sectors and interests was deferred to the next session. In the interim, NGOs agreed to form a loose liaison group to undertake tasks such as reporting on the progress of government discussions.
