Dear SAICM National Focal Points for Asia Pacific countries,
I refer to my message on Monday this week about the registration to the Informal Workshop on Stakeholders' information needs on chemicals, to be held in Bangkok on 2-4 Dec. 2008. In that letter I reminded you that I was expecting registration for participation in this workshop by the deadline of 6th December. I had been requested by the SAICM Secretariat to select the participants by 13 October.
However, as you may know already, the UNEP Secretariat recently informed the National Focal Points that they will extend the deadline for submission of registration form until Monday 20 October. Therefore I have to wait until that date to make the selection of participants. So please wait until the week of 20 October for the confirmation of the participation of nominated experts.
For your information, I have received nomination from the following 16 countries: Bahrain, Bhutan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Syria, Uzbekistan and Yemen
Best regards,
Esak

6 October 2008: Informal Workshop on Stakeholders' information needs on chemicals, Thailand 2-4 Dec. 2008
Dear SAICM National Focal Points,
I am writing you to remind you about the registration for participation in the Informal Workshop on Stakeholders' information needs on chemicals, to be held in Bangkok, Thailand on 2-4 Dec 2008. You should have relevant information from the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) Secretariat in Mid-September. The letter from UNEP Secretariat requested you to submit a registration form to the SAICM Regional Focal Point (which is myself, for the Asia Pacific Region) by 6 October, if you are interested in participation. The submission deadline is today, so I am going to start the selection tomorrow and inform the Secretariat about the list of participants from Asia-Pacific countries.
So far I have received pre-registration forms from the following eight countries: Bahrain, Indonesia, Iran, Kiribati, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Yemen. If you have already sent your pre-registration form but not noted above, please let me know as soon as possible but no later than Thursday 9th October. If you intend to have someone participate in the workshop but have not submitted a pre-registration, please submit one today. If it is difficult to submit a form today, please let me know at least. Please note that you should submit a form even if you do not request travel funds, since there is a limit to the number of total participants. You can email me at saicm@iges.or.jp or send it by fax at (+81) 3 3580 3596.
Best regards,
Esak
