The International Preparatory Committee considered the historical precedent set by various PACs and in particular the 2^nd PAC that was held in phases. Subsequently the meeting unanimously agreed to follow the historical precedent of the 2^ndPAC of 1921 that took place in phases in different cities including London, Brussels and Paris and organize the 8^thPan African Congress in a two-phase process. Phase I was the meeting convened in Ghana, March 2015. Phase II, earlier set for not later than May 2016, will now be convened in June/August 2017.
