The text proposes that the General Assembly: welcome the work of the IHO and its regional commissions, encourage States to become IHO members, support the IHO trust fund and examine the possibility of partnership with the private sector; invite IHO and IMO to continue their coordinated efforts and adopt joint measures with respect to enhancing transitioning to ENCs, and to increase coverage of hydrographic information; and encourage intensified efforts to build capacity for developing countries to improve hydrographic services and production of nautical charts. UN GROUP OF EXPERTS ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES (UNGEGN) Liaison with UNGEGN was maintained, in relation to the IHO work on the Limits of Oceans and Seas (S-23) and undersea feature naming (SCUFN), in accordance with TR A4.2.

Relevant IHO documents (draft S-23, 4 th edition; Gazetteer of U.F.N.; and reports of SCUFN meetings) were provided to Ms. KERFOOT and the UNGEGN liaison to IHO, Mr. R. FLYNN (USA-NGA). INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF SURVEYORS (FIG) On 14 November 2003, Mr. Adam GREENLAND, Chairman of FIG Commission 4 –Hydrography, visited the IHB and met with Captain GORZIGLIA, Director in charge of IHO- FIG relations and also Capacity Building matters, a subject which is accorded high priority within Commission 4. The main topics discussed were: the forthcoming Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to be signed between FIG and IHO which will formalize the existing excellent relationship to handle matters of common interest; the preparation of a one-day technical papers meeting during the 2004 FIG Working Week; the representation of FIG at the IAB on Standards of Competence for hydrographic surveyors and nautical cartographers and Commission 4‟s possible contribution to the IHOCBC initiatives. It was decided that an annual meeting would provide an opportunity to strengthen the cooperation between FIG and IHO. CO-OPERATION AGREEMENT WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CARTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION (ICA) The IHO was represented at the ICA Congress in Durban, South Africa, in August.
