Dear members of the Standing Working Group on Ageing,

dear colleagues,

I would like to remind you that we are looking forward for your comments on a zero draft of the Guidelines on mainstreaming ageing (see attached for an easy reference). Kindly note that we agreed to extend the
deadline until the next Friday, 18 September – the Task Force will hold its virtual meeting with the consultant on 23 September to discuss the comments received and proposed adjustments.

We would like to thank very much those countries that reviewed and submitted comments by 11 September deadline.

Also, I would like to confirm that the 13th annual
SWGA meeting will take place on 19-20 November, and due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic situation it will be held
in a hybrid format, which will allow the SWGA members to attend in person in Geneva or connect virtually.  As this type of meeting requires additional arrangements for in-person and on-line interpretation, we were informed by the UNOG Conference Service
that the EN-FR-RU format will be ensured on 20 November, while plenary and break-out sessions of 19 November will be most likely without interpretation.

In preparation for the 13th meeting we have uploaded the advance copies of all pre-session documents in English (http://www.unece.org/index.php?id=53052 ).  French and Russian
versions will be uploaded as soon as translations are provided by the Conference Service. The on-line connection details for the meeting will be communicated closer to the meeting date.

Wishing you a nice weekend,

Vitalija
