> are looking for NGOs that are able to provide for a strong and
> comprehensive communication with other organisations in their context.
> The first selection criteria suggested by the resource group concerns
> the principle to invite one NGO from each member State of the Council
> of Europe. Other additional criteria are suggested such as that
> vulnerable groups should be proposrtionately represented, for example
> black, Asian, Muslim, Jewish and Roma, Gypsy and traveller groups,
> other racial, ethnic and national minorities, indigenous peoples,
> refugees and asylum seekers, migrants other non-citizens and
> undocumented persons and persons of immigrant origin, as well as NGOs
> representing women. The proposed groups should have the credibility of
> other NGOs and should represent the interest of the NGO community."
> and
> "However, due to limitations in space, some criteria need to be
> established in oreder to decide on the participation, or not, of NGOs
> interested in attending. Moreover, only 75 NGOs will be able to have
> their cotst covered. A larger number will be able to attend the NGO
> Forum, provided that they finance their own participation costs."
