Questions related to the adoption of the draft decision submitted by the 9<sup>th</sup>
session of the CSTD (May 2006), the election of the 10 CSTD new members and on
the participation of the WSIS accredited CS entities to the next sessions of
the CSTD have been deferred to the February 2007 ECOSOC organisational

the Council approved a draft decision concerning enlargement of the Commission
on Science and Technology for Development, by the inclusion of 10 new

States, two to the Group of Asian States, one to the Group of Eastern European
States, two to the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States and two to the
Group of Western European and other States.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></p>

determined for each region by lottery. The election of the 10 new members
would be held at the organizational session in February 2007. The Council
agreed, however, to defer consideration of remaining matters, contained in the
report of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (document
