It is an effort to provide information as available. New or changed information will appear in future editions. You are urged to share this information with your fellow NGOs. We welcome other NGOs to contact us with their e-mail address, fax number, and/or mailing address so that we can add them to our contact list. ACCREDITATION LETTERS The United Nations/Division for the Advancement of Women (UN/DAW) began faxing out the letters of accreditation around the 11th of May. We have learned that some people are having trouble receiving these faxed letters. Eligible NGOs who have not received their letter of accreditation by Friday 19 May should contact UN/DAW IMMEDIATELY either by faxing original registration with fax confirmation or via e-mail at beijing5@un.org. This is also the case if names were incorrect or misspelled. All three representatives listed have been accredited and there will be two transferable passes per organization. CHANGE OF NAMES FOR ACCREDITED NGOs If your organization has registered in good time and has received confirmation but now needs to change the name of a representative, they MUST notify the UN/Division for the Advancement of Women (UN/DAW) by end of the business day (New York time) Wednesday 24 May. NO CHANGES WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THIS DATE. Contact UN/DAW via fax at 1+212-963-3463 or via e-mail at <beijing5@un.org>. REGISTRATION FOR INTERSESSIONALS AND RESUMED PREPCOM (for non-ECOSCO NGOs) Non-ECOSOC NGOs who wish to attend the intersessionals from 24 May through 26 May must register with UN/DAW by the end of the business day (New York time) Wednesday 24 May.
