Extract

Establishment of a Publications Board: In order to insure maximum efficiency and economy in the use of equipment, staff and funds of the Secretariat for the publication of United Nations documents, it was announced in December 1949 that a publications board had been established. It was to be composed of representatives of the executive office of the Secretary-General, the Department of Public Information, Conference and General Services and Administrative and Financial Services. The representative of the executive office of the Secretary-General was to be chairman of the board, which would be directly responsible to the Secretary-General. Duties of the board included: 1) approving the estimates for contractual printing for inclusion in the budget estimates for each financial year, 2) establishing annually the publications program of the United Nations and issuing all necessary directives to insure control of that program, 3) determining policies within the Secretariat to govern all phases of the preparation, production and distribution of documents, and 4) reporting to the Secretary-General on its work at least once a year.
