stability in Timor-Leste, 1. Decides to extend the mandate of UNMISET for a final period of 6 months until 20 May 2005; 2. Decides also to maintain UNMISET’s current tasks, configuration and size in order to allow the mission to complete key tasks of its mandate and consolidate gains made thus far; 3. Requests UNMISET to focus increasingly on implementing its exit strategy, particularly with a view to ensure increasing involvement and ownership of the Timorese in the mission’s three programme areas, so that, when it departs Timor-Leste, its responsibilities can be taken over by the Timorese, with the continued assistance of the United Nations system and bilateral and multilateral partners; 4. Urges the donor community to continue providing its indispensable assistance to Timor-Leste, including through active participation in the donor’s conference scheduled to be held in March 2005; 5. Urges, in particular, United Nations development and humanitarian agencies and multilateral financial institutions to start immediately planning for a smooth transition, in Timor-Leste, from a peacekeeping operation to a sustainable development assistance framework;
