IN THE CORRIDORS

The second round of the "informal survey" of delegates on their preference for the physical location of the Permanent Secretariat took place between 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Unlike the first round when 99 out of 114 eligible Parties present at the negotiations participated, only 92 Parties entered Room 5 for the second round. When all the secret ballots were counted, there was still no "absolute majority" and Estrada announced that the third round would take place on Wednesday and the choice would be between Bonn and Geneva. The exact time of the third round will be determined by the Bureau on Wednesday morning.
