Back to: Eighth
Session of the Ad Hoc Committee
Ad Hoc Committee - Main Page
Due to space and time constraints, only one lunch time side event will be hosted daily during the eighth session of the Ad Hoc Committee. As in the past, priority will be given to the Committee’s work, in particular to informal negotiations, in assigning conference rooms. Therefore, organizers of side events should be aware of possible last minute cancellation if need be.
Please note that it is no longer possible to submit requests for side events.
