Byron, please bring the below to the attention of Council members, as I can not post to the Council List In terms of the Charter I wish request an opportunity to discuss with the Chair of the chartering organization or your designated representatives that the Co-Chairs of the CCWG Accountability have decided to declare the Face to Face Meeting here in Paris TWO meetings, in order to be able to read issues on which there is consensus in the room, twice. I have raised in the room (and had on the mailing list while in transit) because 1) it was sprung on us by the Co-Chairs late, while most attending where in fact in transit instead of being decided by the members in two readings (well) in advance; and 2) it is an unheard of attempt at circumventing the two reading rule; and 3) the call for this F2F was short notice when many members already had made other arrangements, such as vacation; some of them now being represented by individuals not having previously participated in the CCWG, I for one do not even know the ccNSO alternate Maarten Simon. There are however at least 23 members and/or alternates present in the room as I write this. I objected against it for the record, as the sole objector. greetings, el
