Report of the intersessional open-ended intergovernmental working group to follow up the work of the Preparatory Committee by its Chairperson-Rapporteur, Ambassador of Armenia.

Proposals made by the Chairperson-Rapporteur:

First, the process of negotiations may be organized through the establishment of up to five sub-groups of the Preparatory Committee, corresponding respectively to the five elements of the structure of the draft outcome document;

Second, each such sub-group shall be chaired by a facilitator  (for example, by one of the Bureau members, or by any other experienced diplomat at the expert level) to be appointed by the Chairperson of the Preparatory Committee who will lead the discussion and coordinate the work of the sub-group.

Third, on the basis of the “Certain indicative elements” document submitted by the intersessional working group as well as all other pertinent contributions and proposals submitted by regional preparatory meetings, regional groups and other stakeholders, each such sub-group shall be mandated to produce a text that would constitute one of the five elements of the action-oriented part of the future draft outcome document.

Fourth, the Preparatory Committee shall allocate two or more half-day meetings to each of the sub-groups to hold their sessions in succession during the period from 7 to 15 October. The results of the work of each negotiating sub-group will then be reported by their facilitators to the plenary of the Preparatory Committee not later than on 16 October 2008.
