To a question on whether there were enough countries co-sponsoring the Palestinian request for upgraded membership, Mr. Botnaru said his office would address that issue only after a draft resolution was tabled with the Secretariat.  States must first negotiate the issue, issue an “L” document and collect sponsors.  Then, at the request of the sponsors, a plenary meeting would be scheduled.  He said a draft text could emerge when the Assembly considered the question of Palestine and the Middle East.  But generally, it was too early to answer the question.<\/p><\/div>\n
