Abstract
In response to the request of the Committee at its ninth session, the focus of the present report is on institutional arrangements for the permanent secretariat. The report provides (in section III.A) information and a commentary on various aspects of a possible linkage between the permanent secretariat and any one of the three entities identified by the Committee as potential host organizations (that is, the United Nations Secretariat, UNDP and UNEP). It identifies issues that require further exploration. It also deals briefly (in section III.B) with the other institutional options outlined in the previous note and that are still on the table. To set the background for these institutional considerations, the report presents an initial sketch (in section II) of the possible functions and scale of operations of the permanent secretariat. Additional background is contained in the previous note (A/AC.237/53), which is the foundation of the present report and may be retained as a reference document for the further discussion of this agenda item
