The Committee agreed to meet as required to take up matters related to the calendar of conferences and its implementation, in particular the consideration of intersessional departures from the approved calendar. In previous years, the Committee has held a two-week session to discuss substantive matters. In 1985, however, in the spirit of General Assembly resolutions 38/32 D and 39/68 В on the improved utilization of conference-servicing resources, the Committee decided to adopt a biennial approach to its work and to concentrate on matters related to the pattern of conferences and the optimum use of conference-servicing resources. It therefore decided to hold a one-week session only and met from 26 to 30 August 1985. In 1986, the Committee will concentrate on questions relating to the control and limitation of documentation. 66. The Committee also agreed to continue taking decisions by consensus, bearing in mind the substance of the items discussed and adopting a pragmatic and flexible approach in order not to impede the exercise of the Committee's functions. O- Programme of work 67. On the basis of a note by the Secretariat, the Committee discussed its programme of work for 1985 and agreed upon an agenda for its substantive session (see A/AC.172/103 and Add.l).

The text appears to be discussing the organizational and procedural aspects of a committee, including the election of officials, organization of work, and programme of work. The language used is formal and official, suggesting a bureaucratic or administrative context. There is no mention of specific economic, environmental, or social issues, which suggests that the category should be more general.
