prior to the opening sitting.
A document entitled Advance information on the 1 O6th Session of the Conference

of reducing printed texts, certain documents, including Advance information, will only be
available in electronic form. A Conference guide, containing fuller details on this year’s
Conference, will be posted on the website following the 329th Session of the Governing Body

Conference, and may take decisions affecting the programme. The Conference reports will
be posted on the website as soon as they become available and by early April at the latest.
Special attention is drawn to the section in Advance information on “Participation”,
which deals with the composition of delegations. Member States are required to ensure that
their national delegations are fully tripartite and balanced as regards the number of advisers
accompanying the respective delegates representing the government, employers and
workers. You are also urged to make every effort to achieve a gender balance in delegations,
taking note of the section on “Gender parity” in Advance information.
