SUGGESTED FUTURE WORK PROGRAM (INCORPORATING SUGGESTIONS MADE AT BUSINESS COMMITTEE MEETING OF 16 JULY)
1. Following conclusion of the present stage of proceedings (presentations, questioning and responses) and regardless of arrangements for a recess Plenary should, in a short session
(a) constitute a committee (say 3 delegates per delegation) to deal with Agenda Item 6
(b) call for papers from delegations on that Agenda Item, for consideration by the committee
(c) fix a date for presentation of those papers (which would allow circulation of papers in advance of the committee's convening)
(d) instruct the committee, when it has completed its work outlined in 3 below, to report back to Plenary on Item 6.
2. If parties prefer, the convening of the committee could be preceded by a brief Plenary session (say 2 days) to enable Plenary to give initial consideration to the papers and to direct the committee in its work.
3. Committee to consider papers and create from its members where appropriate working groups to consider and report back on specified topics emerging from the committee's consideration of those papers.
4. Committee to report back to Plenary as per 1(d) above after consideration of Item 6.
5. If there is to be a recess, it could most conveniently be taken immediately after the Plenary session referred to in 1. This would allow delegations, during the recess, to prepare their papers. The committee (preceded by a preliminary Plenary session if parties so desire) could then meet immediately after the recess to take up their work under 3 above.
6. Plenary sessions to be held as appropriate in the course of the committee's consideration of papers and preparation of reports.
7. Full opportunity to be taken by the Chairman to confer from time to time with delegation leaders over sticking points which may emerge in committee or working group discussions.
