E/2002/43/Rev.1 E/CN.19/2002/3/Rev.1 (b) Provision of additional conference services, including summary records, a five-day intersessional meeting and a three-day additional meeting prior to the 2003 session of the Forum and the differential cost of holding the 2003 session in New York instead of Geneva. The additional cost of those conference services is estimated at $455,400; (c) Cost of travel and DSA for the 16 members of the Forum ($170,300) to attend the intersessional meeting and the additional three-day meeting prior to the 2003 session, as well as the differential cost arising from holding the 2003 session in New York instead of Geneva. 3. The Secretary-General does not anticipate, at this stage, that the additional requirements of $1,340,800 could be absorbed from within the resources approved by the General Assembly for the biennium 2002-2003. He considers, therefore, that those additional requirements would have to be met through an appropriation by the General Assembly in accordance with the procedure for the use of the contingency fund as spelled out in General Assembly resolutions 41/213 and 42/211. 22
