You must start with a completed Event Information for Webpages template, which has been approved by one of the identified content approvers. If the template and all associated materials were not approved by the content approver, they should be returned.
No event pages should be entered without explicit approval from content approvers, as they are ultimately responsible for the quality of the content on the website, including attachments and images.
If the template and associated materials are not in line with ESCWA Brand Guidelines, they should be returned (with exception made for attachments created before 1 May 2016).
