Pre-Registration
NGO
Pre-Registration for CSW Ends January 23, 2013
Because
of increasing demands on limited space, it has become necessary to reduce the
numbers of attendees from civil society. This number should be kept to a
minimum and should not exceed 20 representatives per organization.
Please note that, should the
session take place in the North Lawn Building, participants will need a
secondary pass to gain access. One or two such secondary passes
per/organization will be distributed at or near the registration site.
Organizations should also be aware that, in this context, entry into official meetings
can still not be guaranteed to all who wish to attend.
How to pre-register
Online pre-registration will run from 5 November 2012
to 23 January 2013.
Instructions for
changing / editing names of representatives who have been pre-registered
Names and contact details of representatives can be edited by clicking on the
relevant name on the CSO net.
While logged-in to the CSO net, organizations can also cancel the pre-registration
of a representative by clicking on the (unlist icon) button. The name will
continue to appear in the system, but the person will no longer be
pre-registered.
Please note that an Organization’s login ID and passwords are
strictly confidential.
NGOs should not give their organization’s login ID or password to any other
organization.
Pre-registration
questions
All pre-registration-related questions should be sent to the official CSW
e-mail address. The subject line should read “CSW pre-registration”.
Confirmation of
pre-registration
Once an NGO representative has been pre-registered, a confirmation letter can be downloaded and printed for her/him from the same webpage.
Application for a United
Nations Grounds Pass
Before arriving at on-site registration at United Nations Headquarters, all participants need to fill out and print an application form for a UN grounds pass which will be available in the organization’s account on CSO net. Participants will be required to show this form at on-site registration in order to obtain a grounds pass.
On-site registration
Upon arrival at the United Nations, each pre-registered
NGO representative must register on site in order to obtain a grounds pass. Specifics regarding
on-site registration and issuance of grounds passes are provided in the
confirmation letter and in NGO advisories in the period preceding CSW.
The United Nations will not make travel or visa
arrangements or pay for any expenses in connection with the participation of
NGO representatives in the sessions of CSW.
Such arrangements and costs are the exclusive responsibility of participants.
Participants are encouraged to submit their visa applications well in advance,
in accordance with their local United States Consulate requirements, in order
to allow sufficient time for processing.
