Note by the Chairman

As a result of the above, and bearing in mind other supplementary funding requirements for the Convention process, the secretariat has identified the following initial list of possible activities for supplementary funding for the consideration of Parties:⁽¹⁾

• •Organization of workshops (a variety of workshops may need to be organized in 2000-2001. These would require funds for participation, logistics organization and some preparatory technical work.
