CL 119/6 |
Hundred and Nineteenth Session |
Rome, 20-25 November 2000 |
PROVISIONAL CALENDAR OF FAO GOVERNING BODIES AND OTHER MAIN SESSIONS 2001-2002 |
1. At its Sixty-sixth Session (June 1975) the Council, after concluding that the number of Sessions and their programming was a fundamental problem, requested that "an annotated schedule for the next biennium of Sessions of the Council itself and those Bodies which report to the Council should be submitted to the Sixty-eighth Council Session for approval, after adoption by the Conference of the Programme of Work and Budget and that this schedule should be reviewed at subsequent Sessions of the Council as required".1
2. Appendix A gives the Provisional Calendar of FAO Governing Bodies and Other Main Sessions for 2001-2002. The Council is now requested to approve the Calendar for 2001, and to note the Calendar for 2002.
3. The Council at its Hundred and Twenty-second Session in November 2001 will be given the Provisional Calendar 2002-2003 to approve the Calendar for 2002.
4. The Secretariats of FAO, IFAD and WFP, in an endeavour to harmonize the sessions of the respective Governing Bodies which require the participation of Permanent Representatives in Rome, established an Inter-Agency Working Group on Meeting Programming to prepare a calendar of main sessions on a two-year rolling basis.
5. Appendix B gives for information the Draft FAO/IFAD/WFP Calendar of Governing and Other Bodies 2001-2002 prepared jointly by the Working Group in an effort to avoid overlapping. The dates for each organization are subject to the approval of the respective Governing Bodies.
