Document Summary
The information that is passed around by participants preceding the voting period is important in determining what kinds of decisions will be reached. The un generates a constant stream of information that must be evaluated by foreign networks. This occurs in smaller setting, like private rooms, and though casual meetings such as luncheons, bars, etc. Probably won"t lead to resolution drafting, but is important for exchange of information and communications. Private, ad hoc exchange between delegates drown together temporarily by common interests is an important part in the um process. Groups have formed at the un for the purpose of achieving common objective though concerted action: if groups of members achieve agreement beforehand, they might obtain an equitable share" of assembly influence. Geographical groups exist for elections and exchange of information. Caucusing groups are concerned with policy matter: they mirror common interests and have organizational ties developed outside the un.
