analysis: This text appears to be discussing the implementation of a job classification and salary survey exercise in the United Nations, ITU, and IMO organizations. The Commission is reviewing the progress of the implementation and making recommendations to ensure a positive outcome. The text does not seem to be related to economic development, natural resources, agriculture, industry, transportation, international trade, health, education, humanitarian aid, or culture. It is more focused on employment and human resources within the organizations.
