The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2009/645, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by Austria.
I wish to draw the attention of Council members to documents S/2009/571 and S/2009/601 containing the texts of two letters from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council, dated 2 and 23 November 2009, respectively.

There being no objection, it is so decided.
