This draft has been a joint effort over the past three weeks by Rajan Gandhi (Safety Action Group, India), Uchita de Zoysa (Centre for Environment and Development, Sri Lanka), Jeffrey Barber (Integrated Strategies Forum, USA, and ANPED), as well as both Dagmar Timmer and myself (One Earth Initiative, Canada). The position paper is only a draft, and your input, ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated. Do not hesitate to change the text, add items, etc. to strengthen it. The draft position paper presents 6 key recommendations on the first page; each recommendation is then examined in greater detail in the pages that follow. We need to keep in mind that in order for the paper to be effective, it should not be too long and, most importantly, it should focus on the really key recommendations that can help guide the Marrakech Process and the development of the 10-year framework of programmes. The objectives of the meeting are: (1) to assess progress on the Marrakech Process, notably in the work of the Task Forces, the regional and national strategies, and in the development cooperation dialogue; (2) to begin conceptualising the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on SCP to be presented at the CSD 2010/2011; and (3) to identify new mechanisms to build a more active cooperation between the Marrakech Process and major groups, such as business, NGOs, and academia, among others. So, if you have any particular ideas on these points (especially item #3 which will be discussed at 3:30 pm on June 26), we would love to hear from you! Please, before you post comments, introduce yourself here: http://www.sdissues.net/CS/forums/53/ShowForum.aspx A second NGO paper that will set the context and tone by highlighting the urgent need for a move towards sustainable production and consumption patterns is currently being drafted and will be circulated some time this week. This is the timeline we would like to follow in order to be ready for Stockholm: - 15 June: Deadline for comments from NGOs - 20 June: Final draft position paper sent to NGOs    Report
