proposed resolutions, decisions, and

United States for consideration by the 

Parties. Approximately 4 months prior

Through a series of additional notices 

and Web site postings in advance of 

CoP16, we will inform you about 

preliminary negotiating positions on 

resolutions, decisions, and amendments 

to the Appendices proposed by other 

Parties for consideration at CoP16. We

a meeting of the Conference of the 

Parties to CITES are outlined in 50 CFR

development of documents for 

submission to the CoP and of U.S. 

negotiating positions.
