Considering the urgent situation inside Tibet and the situation in the
world in general, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has called for a special
meeting as enshrined in the article 59 of the Charter of the
Tibetans-in-Exile.
The draft proposal was put forward by Kalon Tripa and supported by the deputy speaker.
After an extensive discussion and deliberations on the proposal,
the Parliament unanimously approved that the meeting would be held from
17 - 22 November at the Tibetan Children's Village School in
Dharamshala.
The composition of the representatives for the meeting include
members of the Tibetan Parliament, members of the Kashag, former
Kalons, former members of Parliament, CTA officials-based in
Dharamshala, two envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and
representatives of His Holiness, settlement or welfare officers,
representatives from the local assemblies, Bod Rawang Denpai Legul
Tsogchung, four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon religion, head of
the schools and overseas Tibetan associations and representatives from
Tibetan non governmental organisations.
The heads of the three independent bodies of the Central
Tibetan Administration will attend the inaugural and final day of the
meeting.
During the first four days of the meeting, ten or fifteen small
committees would be formed to deliberate on the proposal and each
committee will submit their recommendations to the general meeting on
the fifth day. Based on these recommendations, a final resolution would
be passed.
