As you realize, there will be two main events in September, because the UN GA runs into the Durban III conference.
To be fair and non-partial, there are a number of players in the field from the WZO, WUJS, WJC, UNWatch, the CIE's durbanreview website (Australia-based) and the Israel Ministry for Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, as well as the Israel Ministry for Foreign Affairs. In addition, there are the many lobby and campaign organizations with websites, such as Stand With Us, Israel Campus Coalition, with the various Zionist, Jewish and student organizations addressing challenges at national levels.
The impression is that, in addition to the WZO, a number of these - and various specialists - are working on strategy and resources. In light of lessons learned from previous UN encounters, it is to be hoped that they will all come together round the table, given that many of these organizations are represented at the major meetings in Jerusalem in the course of these two weeks.
