Registration of participants

Governors, other members of government delegations, observers, and special guests are asked to advise the Secretariat no later than February 16th, 1998, that they plan to attend the meeting, by completing and returning the registration form provided for this purpose.

Upon arrival in Cartagena, Governors and other members of government delegations, observers, and special guests should register at the Secretariat's registration desk located in the entrance foyer of the Cartagena Convention Center. The desk will operate on the following schedule:

Thursday, March 12th     8:00 am to 6:30 pm

Friday, March 13th     8:00 am to 6:30 pm

Saturday, March 14th     8:00 am to 6:30 pm

Sunday, March 15th     8:00 am to 6:30 pm

Monday, March 16th     8:00 am to 5:30 pm

At registration, each participant will be asked to present his or her passport or some other form of identification which includes a photograph so that an identification badge can be issued which will permit the participant to gain access to the meeting rooms. Invitations to the social events will be issued at this time as well.

In keeping with the usual practice at international meetings of this kind, the identification badge prepared for each participant will include a photograph. Identification badges should be worn prominently at all times and will be essential to enable participants to gain access to the meeting rooms and other working areas, as well as to admit them to the social events.

To expedite registration procedures in Cartagena, participants are requested, when sending back their preregistration forms, to include a recent photograph of themselves and of any guests who will be accompanying them to the meeting.
