Subject: [IYRPsupportgroup] FAO Conference endorses IYRP proposal

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
