There is 1 proposed amendment related to this document on which a decision has not been taken.

[Suggested Future Work Programme]

1. Following conclusion of the present stage of proceedings (presentations, questioning and responses) and regardless of arrangements for a recess (if any) Plenary should, in a short session

(a) constitute a committee (say 3 delegates per delegation) to deal with Agenda Items 6 and 7

(b) call for papers from delegations on those two Agenda Items, for consideration by the committee

(c) fix a date for presentation of those papers (date for papers on Agenda Item 7 need only be approximate)

(d) instruct the committee, when it has completed its work outlined in 2 below, to report back to Plenary first on Item 6 and later on Item 7.

2. Committee to consider papers and create from its members where appropriate working groups to consider and report back on specified topics emerging from the committee's consideration of those papers.

3. Committee to report back to Plenary as per 1 (d) above after consideration of each of the Items.

4. If there is to be a recess, it could most conveniently be taken immediately after the Plenary session referred to in 1. This would allow delegations, during the recess, to prepare their papers on Agenda Items 6 and to advance preparation of papers on Agenda Item 7. The committee could then meet immediately after the recess to take up their work under 2 above.

5. Plenary sessions to be held as appropriate in the course of the committee's consideration of papers and preparation of reports.
