Following the circulation of previous drafts of the TOR which were discussed at meetings of the NGO Major Group last September and November, we solicited volunteers to form a NGO TOR working group to finalize the language of the TOR, comprised of Frances Zainoeddin, Gray Panthers; Aaron Etra, UNA-USA; David Kirshbaum, Nonviolence International; Margo LaZaro, NGO Committee on Sustainable Development; and NGO MG OPs Leida Rijnhout, Jeffery Huffines and Philipp Schonrock.
With gratitude for the tremendous amount of work conducted by the TOR working group, we will be asking the working group members to lead a discussion on the different sections of the NGO MG TOR. At the meeting we will welcome your questions, comments and insights on how to best implement the TOR so that the wide diversity of the NGO community may be effectively represented at the HLPF.
