Item 5. Confirmation of the nomination of the Secretary-General of the Conference 7. Upon appointment by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, at its final meeting on 10 March 2006, the Thirteenth Session of the Group of Governmental Experts decided to nominate Mr. Peter Kolarov, Political Affairs Officer in the Geneva Branch of the United Nations Department for Disarmament Affairs, to serve as Provisional Secretary-General of the Third Review Conference on the understanding that he would perform this function until the convening of the Conference, at which time his nomination will be confirmed.
