[IYRPsupportgroup] IYRP proposal approved!

Thu Oct 1 14:42:50 MST 2020

Hi David

I am about to send an email to everyone who is not already on the IYRP list
(we have more than 100 names!). This is what I will say to them. You may
wish to adapt it to your audience:

*"Wonderful news! The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists for
2026 has taken a huge step toward being a reality.  Today at the FAO
Committee on Agriculture (COAG) meeting, the Mongolian Government presented
the proposal for an IYRP and it was immediately approved without
objections. Now the proposal will be officially passed on to the 165th
session of the FAO Council (in December 2020) for adoption by the 42nd
session of the FAO Conference (in June 2021).  Then on to the U.N. General
Assembly hopefully in October 2021 for a final designation.This was
definitely a team effort and we know that all the support letters and logos
that you sent made a huge impact. By this morning we were up to 153
supporting organizations worldwide!The IYRP International Support Group
will be meeting soon to discuss strategies for next steps as we work to
keep the momentum going through the rest of the U.N. process. If you would
like to be included in the IYRP-ISG's mailing list and be part of these
strategic discussions, then please let me know. *
*Please share the good news within your networks. And, please continue to
visit https://www.iyrp.info <https://www.iyrp.info> . We count on your
continuing support!"*
