Let's consider what actually forced SLORC to adjourn the  Convention?

Your choices are that 
          SLORC needs time:   
  
            - to defuse the increasing tension in the military: That will
be until the end of  rainy season when regional commanders and their troops
will be sent out to attack the minorities, 

            - to wait and see the re-installing democratic forces headed by
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as SLORC still could not find correct response to her
call for talk,

            - to see international response via UN assembly before
reinforcing  major attacks on those who are against the interset of SLORC,

            - for all mentioned above,

           -  for other reasons than mentioned above (please comment).
