3. What if your organisation does not have ECOSOC Status and is not it on the CSD Roster?
Being accredited to the Unied Nations is not a prerequisite to participate at the HLPF.
The Major Groups and other Stakeholders (MGoS) may choose, at their discretion, to include representatives of these organisations under their umbrella so that they may participate on behalf of accredited organizations. If you are registering through an umbrella organisation of one of the MGoS, please do not use this form. Instead, contact the Focal Point of the umbrella organization associated with your MGoS.
