On Wednesday morning, the Standing Committee continued its consideration of the agenda. Kuwait, on behalf of Asia, requested that parts of Agenda Item 44 on elephants be discussed in a closed session. After a vote on the matter, which resulted in 7 votes for a closed meeting, 6 against and 3 abstentions, discussions on Agenda Items 44.1 and 44.2 on, respectively, control of trade in elephant specimens and elephant management and conservation were held in a closed meeting with intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations asked to leave. IUCN and TRAFFIC only were allowed to stay for the consideration of item 44.2.
In the afternoon, the meeting was reopened as the procedural motion was re-opened and the vote was overturned. All participants reconvened for consideration of the MIKE-ETIS subgroup, the decision-making mechanism for authorizing ivory trade, the review of resolution Conf. 10.10, consideration of proposals for the transfer of African elephant populations from Appendix I to Appendix II, and the first technical exchange meeting between producing, consuming, and transiting nations to reduce the illegal trade in African elephant ivory. The day ended with the consideration of the agenda item on introduction from the sea.
