Nicola Shepard, the UN Focal Point on Youth sent this e mail:
As you are aware, as the UN Focal Point on Youth for the UN, the UN Programme on Youth chairs the coordination mechanism within the UN for Youth, The UN Inter Agency Network on Youth Development. I do this work side-by-side with my 2010 Co-Chair UNESCO which is represented by Golda El-Khoury. In order to support the organizers of the World Youth Conference, at the 2nd WYC Int'l Committee meeting I offered to coordinate all of the inputs from the UN system to the 1st draft of the declaration and this offers was graciously accepted. Unfortunately, this is not reflected in the minutes and the agreements and I would greatly appreciate it if this could be added. This coordination and consolidation of the UN comments on the first draft of the declaration was an important process that was carried out by my office (The UN Programme on Youth), UNESCO, and UNFPA. I hope that you found it helpful. In order to continue to support the WYC Secretariat in their drafting of the declaration, we are currently compiling the UN comments on the second draft and will provide them to you next week.

COORDINATION OF THE FEDERAL INSTANCES INVOLVED
Recently the Mexican Government has announced substantial updates to the Law of Population, in order to simplify the migratory procedures for tourists and other temporary migrants.
In addition, to contribute to the conference success, the Mexican Government, through its principal organs involved in this matter - Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE), Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) y Centro de Investigación y Seguridad Nacional (CISEN)- has implemented extraordinary procedures in order to make the application of the participants easier.
Visas and EntriesVisas and Entries
1. SRE and INAMI both agreed to accept applications and deliver visas through certified promoters, which offers the participants the advantage of not being requested to be physically present in the respective consulates.
2. According to the significant youth of the delegates participating in this event, these organs have agreed to make an exception in the matter of economic solvency.
3. The INAMI and CISEN can offer nowadays faster answers to visas applications due to the systems links and upgrades that have been made.
4. Please, take note that Mexican Authorities would not deliver visas in any Mexican Airport . Applicants must apply before travelling.
Visas and EntriesVisas and Entries
PROCESS PROGRESSBy now, we have made significant advances in the design and implementation of the needed mechanisms to complete visas’ general procedures. The most important aspects are:
• Design of the Registration System in coordination with INAMI, in order to allow the compatibility in the data exchange.
• Detailed and updated information published on the Conference’s web page (www.youth2010.org) in Spanish and English (in a few days the translation to French will be loaded to the web site).
• The delegates will obtain online their official invitation letters and they will have to present it at the respective Mexican consulates or at IOM representatives.
• Establishment of a specific e-mail address for personalized treatment of every particular issues that may arise in the previous weeks to the event.

CITIZENS THAT REQUIRE MEXICAN VISA, BUT LIVE IN COUNTRIES WITH NO MEXICAN CONSULAR REPRESENTATION
As in every international event open to the participation of the general public, one of the most important challenges in visa matters is to solve the problem of citizens who live in a country in which Mexican consular representation in non existent. In order to support individuals in these particular cases, the WYC2010 has reached an agreement with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in which this instance will operate as a mediator, based on its wide coverage of representatives around the world.
The general mechanism for this procedure would be:
Visas and EntriesVisas and Entries
• The applicant will send to the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) office his/her personal documents attached to the migratory forms, properly filled and $36 USD (corresponding to the visa emission payment);
• The local International Organization for Migration’s office, will send the applicant’s documents to his head office in Geneva.
• International Organization for Migration’s head office will send the respective documents and visa applications to the Mexican office created for this matters in Geneva. The Mexican office will issue the visa and send it back to IOM’s headquarters.
• IOM’s headquarters will receive the visa and send it to the corresponding local office which will deliver it to the applicant.

The Accessible Platform organization and structure is simple and clear, it is also a place where young people and people in general interested in Mexico City can express themselves from their experience of life, in order to discuss and engage in a dialogue with the information that is regularly offered from Mexico City. Written and audio-visual materials make for an open, multimedia and dynamic space.
The objective is to promote the possibility of constructing knowledge in a collective way stimulating the participation of the Mexico City inhabitants by the use of the tools that are available on the Internet.
We will explore the cultural management through concepts of free culture, rights of author, copyleft, and creative commons.
