The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) will organize an informal briefing session for those delegates who participate in the Statistical Commission for the first time. This session will take place on Monday, 25 February 2013. The time and venue will be announced in due course. The purpose of this informal briefing is not only to inform new members about the functioning of the Commission procedures, but also to offer a first opportunity for networking with other Commission participants.

Delegates who intend to attend this briefing, please contact your Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York to make sure your official UN security pass for the Statistical Commission covers the period from Monday 25 February to Friday 1 March 2013.
