From 4-6 June 2003, the United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS) held a consultation with civil society representatives on the theme: {\textquotedblleft}The Crisis in Global Governance: Challenges for the United Nations and Global Civil Society{\textquotedblright}. Nearly 60 NGO/CSO representatives from more than 20 countries attended the meeting, as well as a number of representatives from the UN system (see list of participants in Annex III). The meeting was structured to maximize inter-active discussions based on participants{\textquoteright} wide range of experiences and perspectives on the state of global governance, and challenges they see ahead for the United Nations and global civil society. The consultation brought together a mix of NGOs/CSOs, many with UN consultative status but some without, ensuring a balance between organizations that have permanent representation at the UN and others that participate in the work of\&nbsp; the UN only occasionally to pursue specific issues and objectives, or that are primarily working with grassroots social movements.\&nbsp; NGLS organised the meeting in the context of the Secretary General{\textquoteright}s High Level Panel to review UN-Civil Society relations (see below) and as a counterpart to a consultation it organised in March 2003 among the NGO liaison officers/focal points of the UN and the international system.
