4. The Chairman recalled that at its meeting of 16 September 2005 the Special Session had had a detailed and useful discussion on the three proposals on the table that had been presented side-by-side in a document prepared by the Secretariat (TN/IP/W/12). He suggested that delegations first deal with the headings that had not been addressed at the September meeting due to time constraints, and then revert, if they so wished, to those already addressed at that meeting. He further suggested that the remaining headings be grouped into three sets, namely: (1) duration and renewals of registrations, modifications and withdrawals of notifications and registrations, and termination of participation in the system; (2) fees and costs; and (3) review, contact point, administering body/other bodies, and date of entry into operation. He recalled that certain issues in these sets of headings, such as fees and costs and the administering body and other bodies, had been touched upon by some delegations at the September meeting.
