A/HRC/25/30 implementing the guidance note; and (d) setting measurable outputs for the network to assess progress in the implementation of the guidance note. 34. In terms of the implementation strategy, the network will set up small working groups to pursue selected action plan activities, with one network member coordinating the work of each group. The activities will include, for instance: (a) providing support to the United Nations country teams working on initiatives of relevance to the guidance note; (b) enhancing existing training packages; (c) supporting regional initiatives; (d) facilitating exchanges between United Nations country teams; (e) drafting targeted advisory notes; and (f) disseminating recommendations from international and regional bodies. 35. Overall, the network will continuously identify emerging opportunities during the four-year period of the action plan and will facilitate means of integrating the action plan into new initiatives. The network has held five meetings so far (by videoconference). Some of the meetings were preceded by events or consultations, organized by OHCHR in collaboration with minority organizations and other stakeholders, on the advancement of work in the United Nations system to combat racial discrimination and protect minorities.
