The "WGRI"

Negotiations opened yesterday for the funnest sounding meeting, the 'WGRI'. Only fun sounding in acronym though: The 3rd Ad Hoc Open Ended Working Group on the Review of the Implementation of the Convention. Pretty crucial stuff on the agenda though: revising the Strategic Plan for post 2010 targets, goals and indicators, reviewing a new science-policy interface mechanism, and also talking about resource mobilization.
