UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) consultative status
for the Democracy Coalition Project (DCP) and deferral back

having a wide spectrum of views in order to enhance debate
and advance the work of the United Nations. END SUMMARY.

ECOSOC status of the two NGOs with the Indonesian government.
On July 6, poloff reviewed the points with Bunyan Saptomo,
Director for North American Affairs at the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DEPLU).

enhance debate. Mission asked for GOI support in voting with
the U.S. to overturn the decision of the NGO Committee
against DCP accreditation and then voting in favor of a
resolution to grant special consultative status to DCP.
Additionally, Mission asked te GOI for its support in vvoting

Committee to close the application of DCWMF for accreditation
and then voting in favor of a draft resolution to send
DCWMF's application back to the Committee for deliberation.

whether the GOI would vote with the U.S., but noted the
importance of promoting diverse views. Bunyan said he would
study the documents and review with the appropriateGOI
offices and agencies.
