Nearly 20 Signatory and observer States participated, together with interested NGOs and IGOs from around the region. Under the chairmanship of Richard Bagine from Kenya (pictured on the right with Douglas Hykle, CMS Deputy Executive Secretary), the meeting made solid progress in a number of areas - establishing a six- member advisory committee, reviewing implementation of the Conservation and Management Plan, identifying complementary regional initiatives, reviewing financial matters and discussing arrangements for the MoU secretariat. Representatives of Madagascar and the Seychelles took advantage of the opportunity to sign the Memorandum of Understanding, bringing to 15 the number of Signatory States. The meeting learned that the internal procedures leading to signature are also well-advanced in India, Maldives and Oman.
