IN THE CORRIDORS I

Some participants are speculating on the need for an intersessional IPF Bureau meeting sometime after IPF-3 in order to work on draft text for IPF-4’s report to the CSD. One delegate said that while an open-ended meeting would allow all interested countries to participate, any effort to work out textual changes requires as small an assembly as possible. An observer noted that if regional groups can consolidate positions it may mean that not all countries will feel a need to be represented. Another expressed skepticism that regional groups could find common ground by Friday.
