The second plenary session included an introduction by the Rais Aam PBNU, followed by the Chairman of PBNU delivering the accountability report. Representatives from various regional branches (PWNU) across Indonesia, as well as the Special Branch (PCI) from Japan, provided their perspectives on the report. Prof. Nuh noted that, after sampling the views, including from PCI Japan, the report was generally well-received, with some suggestions offered.

The forum concluded that the PBNU's accountability report, encompassing both the Syuriyah and Tanfidziyah elements, was accepted. Following these plenary sessions, the congress moved into parallel commission meetings. These commissions are addressing a range of critical topics, including Bahtsul Masail (religious discussions) on various legal and contemporary issues, organizational matters, program planning, and recommendations.

From the sampling of those who presented, 11 including PCI Japan, all accepted it well. Of course, there were some suggestions and so on, but in principle, it was well received.
