Approximately nineteen months before each Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS), an Organizational Meeting is held to allocate Contracting Parties to Country Groups, and to elect the Review Meeting President, Vice-Presidents, and Country Group Officers. In addition, the Contracting Parties decide on a provisional timetable and budget for the forthcoming Review Meeting and whether to organize topical sessions. The Contracting Parties also consider requests for interpretation and any other matters relevant to the implementation of the CNS.
