The following methodology is presented to guide discussions on the text. It builds on experience and practice adopted in previous years that have proven effective and facilitated the preparatory work for the General Assembly:

• The discussions will be conducted in the CAAP by way of informal meetings presided over by the vice chairs and, if necessary, by the chair. Decisions adopted at those informal meetings will be formalized by the CAAP at formal meetings.

• A preliminary draft resolution prepared as a proposal of the chair and vice chairs will be distributed on April 28, 2026, and considered at the first meeting of the CAAP to begin discussion of this topic, which is scheduled for May 12, 2026.

• The aforementioned preliminary draft resolution will consist of six main sections: the preamble and operative sections I, II, III, IV, and V. The latter will include the mandates that remain in force after the resolution expires.

• All delegations are requested to submit any new proposals to be included in the draft resolution by May 5, so that they may be properly considered and discussed.

Delegations are reminded of the mandate management policy adopted by the Permanent Council (CP/doc.6175/26), which includes what characteristics (SMART) a mandate should have, as well as the established procedure for costing new mandates.

• Delegations are urged to hold informal consultations to reach consensus and secure support for new texts, preferably before those paragraphs are considered at meetings of the CAAP.

• During the consideration of the texts, if there are still instructions or mandates pending for which delegations have not received a status report, the chair or vice chairs will endeavor to ensure the relevant areas of the General Secretariat submit report s on the steps taken to fulfill them. This will help delegations decide whether a paragraph or3topic should be retained, and whether a mandate should be renewed, amended, or deleted.

• The deadline for completion of the work of the CAAP on the draft resolution is

steps taken to fulfill them. This will help delegations decide whether a paragraph or3topic should be retained, and whether a mandate should be renewed, amended, or deleted.

• The deadline for completion of the work of the CAAP on the draft resolution is June 12, 2026, to allow texts to be available at the last meeting of the Committee, which is scheduled to be held on June 16, 2026.

• A tentative schedule is presented below. Dates are subject to change depending on other meetings of the CAAP and its working groups, in order to ensure an efficient use of resources. The proposed dates will be incorporated into the overall schedule of the CAAP and its working groups.

The Chair of the CAAP presents this methodology as a fundamental tool for ensuring order and predictability in the negotiation process and reaffirms its commitment to conclude the work by June 16 with the support of all delegations, so that the draft resolution can be submitted to the General Assembly.- 4MAY
