•S: (adv) soon, shortly, presently, before long (in the near future) "the doctor will soon be here"; "the book will appear shortly"; "she will arrive presently"; "we should have news before long"


9. NEAR FUTURE (Secretariat)

‘Near future’ needs to be defined in terms of a measurable period. This could be a figure of five years (as used in the current Criterion D of Annex 1 to Resolution Conf. 9.24) or a number of intervals between meetings of the Conference of the Parties (Paragraph B. of Annex4.) the latter period is variable, and the Secretariat therefore proposes to define ‘near future’ as:

Any time within a period of five years following the meeting of the Conference of the Parties where the status of the species concerned is discussed.

orFinally, the up-listing remains on schedule, with further announcements coming in the near future.


LOOKS LIKE ANYTIME BETWEEN NOW AND 5 YEARS
