The meeting also received an input from the IPU Secretary-General, Mr A Johnson, on the IPU Strategy for 2012 - 2017. He thanked the Coordinating Committee for their inputs into the IPU Strategy and noted that the majority of these inputs had been incorporated into the text prepared by the Executive Committee in pursuit of the objective of ensuring that gender was mainstreamed in the IPU. The Strategy would now be submitted to the Governing Council for adoption and its 189th session in October 2011.
