Dear Distinguished Members of the ICAPP Standing Committee,

With regard to the ICAPP's bid for U.N. observer status, this is to inform that three more Member States, i.e. Australia, Lebanon and Malaysia, have signed the draft resolution as co-sponsors by October 6. The total number of co-sponsors has now increased to twelve.

In this regard, other Member States which wish to join the draft resolution as co-sponsors can still do so by informing the U.N. Secretariat of their intention either directly or through the Mission of the Republic of Korea, which is the coordinator for the co-sponsors, before or at the Sixth Committee meeting on October 10.

With warm regards,

Chung Eui-yong
Co-Chairman of the Standing Committee
and Secretary General of the ICAPP
Seoul, Korea
