-74-E. Potential for absorption 224. The estimates of conference-servicing costs indicated in paragraph 222 above are based on the assumption that no part of the conference-servicing requirements would be met from within the permanent conference-servicing capacity under Section 29 (Conference Services Division, Geneva) of the programme budget, and that additional resources would be required for temporary assistance for meetings. The extent to which the Organization's permanent capacity needs to be supplemented by temporary assistance resources can only be determined in the light of the calendar of conferences for 1990-1991. However, as indicated in paragraph 29.5 of the programme budget, the 1990-1991 level of resources for temporary assistance for meetings was estimated on the basis of previous experience to accommodate not only meetings which are programmed, but also additional meetings. In other words, provision was made in the programme budget not only for meetings known at the time of budget preparation, but also for meetings that would be authorized subsequently, provided that the number and distribution of meetings and conferences in the biennium 1990-1991 is consistent with the pattern of meetings in past years. On that basis, it is estimated that no additional resources will be required under Section 29 of the programme budget for the biennium 1990-1991 as a result of the adoption of the decision. a/ 5 work-months in 1990, 5 work-months in 1991 and 2 work-months in 1992. b/ 15 work-months in 1990, 15 work-months in 1991 and 6 work-months in 1992. c/ 5 work-months in 1990 and 1 work-month in 1991. d/ Calculated on the basis of the average costs. -75-Annex IV LIST OF DOCUMENTS ISSUED FOR THE FORTY-SIXTH SESSION OF THE COMMISSION Documents issued in the general series Symbol E/CN.4/1990/1Agenda Item E/CN.4/1990/l/Rev.
