5. It would be advantageous for the General Assembly to have a shorter agenda to ensure the fullest discussion of all issues, so that its decisions may have greater impact. Accordingly, the President of the General Assembly at its fifty-eighth session, in consultation with the Secretary-General, and following consultations with concerned Member States, is requested to make proposals for the further biennialization, triennialization, clustering and elimination of items of the customary agenda of the Assembly for the consideration of the General Committee by 1 April 2004. The General Committee shall hold open-ended discussions on the proposals before making recommendations on the matter to the Assembly for its decision by 1 July 2004.
5. 缩短大会议程将是一项有利措施，可确保所有问题都得到最充分的讨论，从而使大会的决定能产生更大的影响。因此，请大会第五十八届会议主席同秘书长协商，并在同有关会员国协商之后，于2004年4月1日之前提出把更多大会传统议程项目改为每两年、每三年审议一次、合并审议或删除的提议，以供总务委员会审议。总务委员会应就这些提议举行不限名额的讨论，然后于2004年7月1日之前就此向大会提出建议，供其作出决定。
