Correspondingly, the co-ordinator of the PWYP Coalition has prepared the list of delegates including four representatives from Azerbaijan ? Mr Sabit Baghirov, Mr Inglab Ahmadov, Mr Mayis Gulaliyev and Mr Qalib Afandiyev.

During the discussion, it was proposed to approve the list of delegates. At the same time, Mr Ogtay Gulaliyev came proposed to write down a reply letter with the requirement that next time delegate countries themselves approve representatives to the events of this kind. In addition, the reply letter needed to contain a request as well ? to invite one more representative from Azerbaijan, Mr Qubad Ibadoghlu, to the conference. At the end of the discussion, it was decided to approve the originally prepared list on condition that the proposals voiced during the discussions would be reflected in the reply letter.
