Hey all,

Here's a relevant development to the "how long is Rio+20 going to be" and "will we have time to prepare its outcomes with so few meetings in the calendar" issues:

http://uncsd.iisd.org/news/uncsd-bureau-discusses-first-intersessional-and-second-preparatory-meetings/?referrer=uncsd-update

In particular: "On the preparatory process, Bureau members Charles Ntwaagae and John Matuszak, who had met with Major Groups, conveyed the Major Groups’ concern that the three-day duration of the Conference could constrain achievement of its desired outcome. Bureau members learned that in conversations with Brazil, it has been proposed that an interval of a few days be scheduled between the final PrepCom and the UNCSD, to permit time for thematic discussions and Conference-related activities, including activities by the Major Groups. The Bureau also discussed, without reaching agreement, the option of having a "zero draft" of the outcome document ready by PrepCom 2. Some members argued that the zero draft should be prepared after taking into account all preparatory activities. Others proposed combining the second and third intersessional meetings into one official negotiation session of four days, suggesting that PrepCom 2 could make such a decision, but it was noted that this decision would need to be endorsed by the UN General Assembly."

More insights in the minutes of the last Bureau meeting:

All the best,
