Working Group B Meetings 

The Preparatory Commission is composed of a plenary body and the Provisional Technical Secretariat (PTS), which assists the Commission in carrying out its activities. The Plenary body is assisted by three groups: 

1. Working Group A, which deals with budgetary and administrative matters, such as the annual budget, financial and staff regulations and rules and legal issues.
