Members of the Board are requested to submit to the UNCTAD secretariat, by 31 August 2010, the credentials of their representatives and the names of alternate representatives and advisers who will participate in the session.

Upon arrival, participants are requested, before entering the Palais des Nations, to collect their badges at the United Nations Security Service, Pregny Gate entrance, 14 Avenue de la Paix. The Security Service is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (non-stop).
