U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Notice of Open Teleconference 
Meeting

SUMMARY: The U.S. National Commission for UNESCO will meet via 
telephone conference on Tuesday, April 24, 2007, from 11:30 a.m. until 
12:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The purpose of the teleconference meeting is 
to consider the recommendations of the Commission's Review Committee on 
the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Program. The UNESCO Secretariat in Paris has 
asked to receive recommendations from member states before the end of 
April, thus this telephone conference is being convened on shorter 
notice than ordinary meetings of the Commission. The Review Committee 
was asked to review U.S. applications for the Chairs program, which 
seeks to foster cooperation between universities in different countries 
and to promote academic solidarity and the transfer of knowledge. The 
Commission also plans to discuss activities related to the U.S. 
National Committee for the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 
as well as, discuss applications submitted to join the Associated 
Schools Project Network--USA list. More information on the National 
Commission can be found at http://www.state.gov/p/io/unesco. The 
Commission will accept brief oral comments during a portion of this 
conference call. Members of the public who wish to present oral 
comments or to listen to the conference call must make arrangements 
with the Executive Secretariat of the National Commission by 12 p.m. on 
April 23, 2007. For more information or to arrange to participate in 
the teleconference meeting, contact Alex Zemek, Deputy Executive 
Director of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO, Washington, DC 
20037. Telephone: (202) 663-0026; Fax: (202) 663-0035; E-mail:
