[IYRPsupportgroup] IYRP proposal approved!

Fri Oct 2 01:00:22 MST 2020

Dear all
Hope you are doing well.
Please to send the news through networks and social media, I think it will be better to wait for the final report of the COAG.
Best regards
Gregorio

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 . We count on your continuing support!"

Dear David,

The final report on the COAG meeting should be approved tomorrow afternoon (in Rome - time to be confirmed)

It would probably be only then that we could start making public statements about this. But the drafting committee will not be changing any of the substance of the summaries for each item - including the item on the IYRP. It will only be making the language and described procedures FAO-conform.

I could see if I can capture what is in the minutes - they use screen sharing so one cannot cut and paste from that.

Cheers,
Ann

Hello again everyone,

What public statements can we make about this exciting news?

I understand there are more formalities in the process yet.

The Australian Rangeland Society would like to report this on our social media accounts. We would also like to write to the Australian Government to thank them for their support.

Can we have some guidance on how much we can report please?

Perhaps it is to paraphrase what is documented in the COAG minutes?

Thank you

This is exciting news indeed, and of global significance.

Congratulations to everyone in this group, and beyond, who have contributed to this success.

This certainly does show what we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal

Well done to our Mongolian colleagues for such a professional and dedicated effort
