No. Due to space and security concerns, only two non-transferrable passes that allow access to the official sessions will be issued per organization. Each NGO is responsible for ensuring that the passes are rotated equitably among their four representatives. Young people and their chaperones are counted as part of the four-member delegation.

Have new supporting events been organized

No new NGO supporting events will be organized. The NGO Steering Group will send re-confirmation letters to NGOs that were confirmed for September 2001 supporting events. New dates will be indicated.

Where can I get a copy of the latest version of the outcome document?

The latest draft of the outcome document issued by the UN is available on the SOCIETY FOR SKILL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT web. http://www.sstd.org.pk/specialsession/documentation/

The document was discussed at informal sessions during the 3rd PrepCom and negotiations will continue from 29 April to 2 May. When the document is finalized, it will become available on the SOCIETY FOR SKILL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT web.

My organization would like to attend the Special Session. Can we still apply for accreditation?

The process of approval of NGO accreditation was open from January to October 2000, allowing for appropriate information and preparation. This process has now been closed.
