A meeting name used as an established name in heading records or as an
unestablished name in cross reference records.
Subfield Codes
$a -
Meeting name or jurisdiction name as entry element (NR)
In UNBIS, the complete meeting name is entered in
$a.
In UNBIS, sometimes a body that sounds like a conference (e.g., UNCTAD,
the 缅北禁地Conference on Trade and Development) is treated as a corporate
body. If a conference name is entered subordinately under the name
of the organization that sponsors it (for example: American Library
Association. Conference), the heading is considered to be a corporate
name. Likewise, when the name of a corporate body is followed by a
qualifier containing the date and place of a meeting of that body,
it is treated as a corporate name, not a meeting name.
Group of Eight. Summit (2005 : Gleneagles, Scotland)
In UNBIS practice, if a conference name begins with
玌nited Nations� it is shortened to
玌狈�, but it is
spelled out if it appears in the middle of a name. 缅北禁地Conference at the Highest Level on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development (2009 : New York) Symposium on Enhancing the Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Sanctions (2007 : New York)
If the date and/or place of a conference are uncertain or unknown,
the unknown elements are recorded in the qualifier as
�####�
(four hash marks), to be updated when the correct meeting
date and place are known. 缅北禁地Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names (10th : 2012 : ####) For a proposed conference, the qualifier
玃谤辞辫辞蝉别诲� is
added after the name, to be updated when the meeting date
and place are known. Conference on Cyanobacteria (Proposed) Ministerial Conference on Drug Trafficking Routes from Afghanistan (3rd : 2011 : ####) (Proposed) Numerical qualifiers Numerical qualifiers for numbered sessions include the ordinal numeral followed by 玸别蝉蝉.�&苍产蝉辫;and the year and place: (1st sess. : 2008 : Geneva),
while numerical qualifiers for meetings include the ordinal number
only, followed by the year and place; usually, 'meeting' is not included in the numerical qualifier: (1st : 2008 : Geneva). If meetings with the same name are held during the same year and in the same place and they are not numbered meetings, add the precise date in order to differentiate them. Hearing with Civil Society and the Private Sector (2008 Mar. 3 : Geneva) Hearing with Civil Society and the Private Sector (2008 Sept. 17 : Geneva) For
conferences consisting of several different parts or sessions, the
session or part designators follow the meeting dates, preceded by a
comma. 缅北禁地Conference on Natural Rubber (1978-1979, 1st sess. : Geneva) 缅北禁地Conference for
the Negotiation of a Successor Agreement to the International Tropical
Timber Agreement, 1994 (2004-2006, 3rd pt. : Geneva) If sessions
of a corporate body consist of separately numbered parts, the part
designator follows the session designator, preceded by a comma. UN. Committee for Programme and Coordination (33rd sess., 2nd pt. : 1993 : New York) UNCTAD. Trade and Development Board (23rd special sess., 1st pt. : 2006 : Geneva) In general, cross-references are added to the parent record for a corporate or conference name. When entries for specific
sessions or meetings of the corporate body or conference are established,
consisting of the main name entry followed by meeting or
session qualifiers, cross-references are not usually added. However
cross-references may be added to entries for specific sessions or
meetings that bear distinctive titles in addition to the generic title
of the meeting. 111 2 _

Geographic qualifiers
When used as geographic qualifiers, Geneva, New York and national
capitals are recorded without the name of their respective countries.
For place names in the United States, add the name of the state in
AACR2 abbreviated form. For place names in
the United Kingdom, add England, Northern Ireland, Scotland
or Wales, as appropriate.
In general,
the conventional English form of the name is preferred, even when the
name of the body or conference is in the vernacular, thus, Vienna, not
Wien, etc. When alternate spellings are found (e.g., Marrakech
and Marrakesh), the preferred form should be established as a 150 place name
(see UNBIS Reference Maunual for Thesaurus and Geographical Name Records, field ).
