Subtask 2.2 Encourage efforts to network with United Nations regional bodies involved in the material and strategy development leading to the March and June meetings.
Regional bodies identified in the New York City meetings follow.
There are others and we will pass information along as soon as we can obtain it. These United Nations regional meetings are open only to accredited delegates. We will have to be in contact with delegates to these meetings in advance of the meetings themselves. NGO may attend. We will be strikingly more successful if we can, for once, make our presence felt at local, national, and regional meetings.
