85. 主席提议第二委员会侧重于具有方案影响和开放式任务授权的决议、四年度全面政策审查和“水促进可持续发展”国际行动十年各项目标落实情况的中期全面审查，这一提议值得欢迎。同样值得欢迎的是提议将关于所有其他决议的谈判限于技术更新和关于冠状病毒病的有限几个段落，其中包括一个贯穿各领域的段落和不超过一个关于实质性问题的序言段落，以及一个关于务实的解决办法的段落。这些段落的措辞应该以包容和透明的方式谈判商定。尽早以可编辑的格式和可跟踪修改的文本备好草案，并在可能的情况下注明新措辞的出处，这将便利谈判并节省时间。
85. The proposal by the Chair that the Second Committee focus on resolutions with programmatic impacts and open mandates, on the quadrennial comprehensive policy review and on the midterm comprehensive review of the implementation of the objectives of the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development”, was welcome. Equally welcome was the proposal to limit negotiations on all other resolutions to technical updates and a limited number of paragraphs on COVID-19, consisting of one cross-cutting paragraph and no more than one preambular paragraph on substantive aspects and one paragraph on action-oriented solutions. The language of those paragraphs should be negotiated in an inclusive and transparent manner. Making drafts available early, in an editable format and in track changes, with cited sources of new language where available, would facilitate negotiations and save time.
