              inclusion of a <strong>background paper </strong>with the
              request is strongly encouraged. </p>
            <p><strong>Open Forums should focus on a Government or

                year and allow sufficient time for questions and
                discussions.

              minutes. </p>
            <p><strong>Governments and treaty-based international
