Changes in this paragraph are
to explicitly ensure that the
decisions of the GA are
parceled to and addressed by
the relevant WGs.
To reflect common practice.
To foster international coopera-
tion.
The intention is to produce
higher quality Resolutions by
arving at the Congress with
problems identified and the
majority of resolutions already
analyzed and consolidated,
instead of having all this work
carried during the Congress.
This complements the
changes in XIII. 14. above.
Previous wording was ambigu-
ous.
