• Meeting records and resolutions related to the proposed programme budget may not be available until some weeks or months into the budget year.

Before the regular session opens in September, some bodies meet to consider the proposed programme budget and report their recommendations to the General Assembly.

For example, the Committee for Programme and Coordination (CPC) meets in June.
