UN Conference Registration Process To Be Reopened

In a teleconference today, the Global Social Economy Group (previously the DNG plus others group) acting as facilitators to the UN June Conference agreed to reopen the registration process to allow those people that either missed the previous deadline or were unavailable for the original dates of the Conference to now register for the new dates of the Conference (June 24 - 26). Official notice will be issued by the UN-Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS) office with links to registering. Round Tables - It was also agreed that new registrants would be able to apply for Roundtables, but with the disclaimer that the new applications would be placed in an alternate pool that would only be consulted in the event that Roundtable selections and alternates on the existing list were unavailable for the new dates of conference. This decision was reached on the basis that it would be unfair to bump people that had already been selected for Roundtables. So, if you were unable registered for the June Conference but can now attend, look for the Registration notice. What we heard was that registration will most likely open for about one (1) week, beginning perhaps tomorrow. Open registration dates, deadlines and other details will be determined by NGLS and the Office of the President of the General Assembly (OPGA).Please check www.un-ngls.org for more information.
