Dear Friends,
Please find enclosed the Arrangements
for Participation for your information.
United Nations grounds pass
A blue laminated plastic badge that has
a photo of the bearer on it. By itself, it does not give access to the
North Lawn Building. It must be used with a secondary access pass.
Secondary access pass
A laminated coloured cardboard non-photo
pass that is only valid when it is accompanied by a valid United Nations
grounds pass. During the Eleventh Session, they will be issued at the time
of registration to give access to the North Lawn Building. This pass can
be used for the duration of the session.
During on-site registration, one secondary
access pass will be given to each organization to be shared amongst its
delegates. These passes will be given out, as long as supplies last, at
a table marked “secondary access passes” in the lobby of the General
Assembly Building.
Only ONE secondary access pass will be
given per organization for the duration of the session. Please
take special care not to lose your secondary access pass.
Special event tag (SET)
This is for access to side events in the
North Lawn Building. A coloured cardboard ticket with the date, time
and location of the room of the side event (usually held during lunchtime
and the evening) will be distributed. The SETs will be distributed
each morning at the SPFII table in the Visitors' Lobby starting at approximately
9:00 AM for that day's events by the event organizers.

use your existing UN grounds pass but will be required to obtain the secondary
access pass to gain access to the conference room.
2) New IPOs and Academics--Upon
registration you will sign/make corrections to your grounds pass form that
you filled out online and take it to the security desk to get your grounds
pass printed.
3) 2011 Participating
IPOs and Academics--If you attended
last year's session, your grounds pass will be waiting for you in this
line when you register.
Immediately after registering your designated
representative will proceed to the line/queue
for to receive the SECONDARY PASS
