On 11 January @UN_PGA wrote to Member States with an update on the SG selection process.
The letter noted @antonioguterres had stated his availability to serve a 2nd term + willingness to present a vision statement and participate in an informal dialogue with Member States.

1 for 7 Billion is delighted that @antonioguterres has committed to this - building on his engagement with the process last time, including in events organised by civil society.

5/ NEXT STEPS: @UN_PGA is working w. the #UNSC Pres @PmTunisia on a joint letter to Member States on next steps. This kicked off the process last time.
We hope the letter will build on the 2015-16 process:
- set a timeline for nominations
- engagement w/ civil society + youth

We understand @UN_PGA has presented a draft to the #UNSC Pres + hope it will be finalised soon to allow sufficient time for the process.
Maybe the @UN_PGA press conference tomorrow will reveal more @brendenvarma
