[CS Bureau] Provisional Agenda for CSB

[Renata Bloem]

Dear all

 

Please see below for comments a provisional agenda with which we can start
Monday morning. After talking to Ramin and Jeanette and some others earlier
and after comparing what caucuses exist and function and what families will
remain on the Bureau, (very much overlapping except for the human rights
caucus) let me say in a nutshell:

 

*	it would make so much sense to have each caucus appoint one member
to sit on the Bureau. This would at least give somehow relevance and
legitimacy back to the Bureau, which as an institution in CS-UN relations we
all have a great interest to keep and up-value. CONGO, NGLS and ICV can
serve as secretariat, resource etc. 

 

*	Decisions on who speaks on what subject should be up to the
caucuses. 

 

*	Ct should facilitate and coordinate time management in any given
slot for CS. 

 

*	Plenary in my opinion should be informed or reported to on all
decisions, so that those who participate can make informed decisions how
best and where to participate. Plenary should not have a vote on any caucus
decisions. 

 

As CONGO we have been asked to form a WG on GFC (or whatever it will be
named after PrepCom) to have more systematic input into ongoing
deliberations. That for today  

  

Best
