[IYRPsupportgroup] FAO Conference endorses IYRP proposal

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear friends of IYRP

We are very happy and pleased to inform you that the FAO Conference today
endorsed the proposal from the Government of Mongolia for the designation
of IYRP.  Now the next step is for this proposal to be tabled at the UN
General Assembly in September for a final decision and designation.

We will know more details by the end of this week when the formal FAO
Conference Report is published.

Thank you immensely for all the good work that so many of you have done to
raise awareness about the importance of having an IYRP.

Now we need to pull together all of our energy, support and innovativeness
towards September in New York !

Best regards
