Notification 2015-044

Dear Madam/Sir, I would like to refer to notification 2015-031, issued on 12 March 2015, inviting Parties, other relevant organizations and stakeholders, including indigenous peoples and local communities to submit nominations for the Informal Advisory Committee on Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA-IAC). Given the small number of nominations received to date and in order to ensure fair and equitable geographical distribution, as well as gender balance, the deadline for submission of these nominations has been extended to 15 May 2015. The nomination should be in the form of an official letter addressed to the CBD Executive Secretary and signed by the CBD National Focal Point or senior government official, together with the curriculum vitae. The letter should indicate the full contact information of the nominee, including an e mail address and should be submitted to the Secretariat by e-mail (secretariat@cbd.int) or by fax (+1 514 288 6588). I thank you for your usual cooperation and for your continued support for the work of the Convention. Please accept, Madam/Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Executive Secretary

To: CBD National Focal Points, relevant organizations, and indigenous peoples and local communities
