Dear
Colleagues and Friends,
The UN released

The report represents

that will take place from 14-16 September 2005. As part of the preparatory
process, the General Assembly will hold Hearings with Civil Society,
NGOs and the Private Sector from 24-25 June 2005.

with UN and NGO colleagues, is playing a central role on the Civil
Society/NGO track of the preparatory process and would like to invite
you to send your comments, observations and viewpoints on the Secretary-General's
Report and the issues at stake when the World's Heads of States
meet at the Summit in September. Should there be sufficient inputs
from you, NGLS will compile and produce a report for distribution
at the June 'Hearings' and for posting on our website.
For further
background reading, the Report of the High-level Panel on Threats,
Challenges and Change (A more Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility),
and the Report of the Panel of Eminent Persons on United NationsCivil
Society Relations (We the peoples: civil society, the United Nations
and global governance) are available at the end of this message.
The cut-off
date for your inputs is 30 April 2005. Please keep your commentaries
brief and to the point and send them to Ms. Anne Kawuki at the following
email address: anne.kawuki@unctad.org.
