Dear Co-Chairs Leon and Thomas, I wish to thank your third Co-Chair for his email, below, which I feel even though content-free warrants wider circulation. For the record, ANY decision taken in the Wg needs at least 2 readings, hence the non-objection comment below makes things even worse. Reiterating that we have a deadline as argument against objections against such deadline shows that your colleague does not get it, or worse, intransigence. That said, I also do NOT recall ANY prior discussion about the date of the F2F in Buenos Aires, never mind after my objection. el On 2015-04-10 12:50, Mathieu Weill wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
This is to mention that, as co chairs, we are closely monitoring this discussion. As you know, we introduced this new work plan during the last CCWG call, meeting at the time no objection. We are however receptive to the concerns raised and welcome constructive inputs.
Since I have just finished our CCWG-CWG co-chair coordination call, I can however confirm that the main reason for meeting the target date we set in Istanbul remains very much up to date : the CWG needs clarity on our proposals to confirm its own options. Delay on our side might jeopardize their timeline, which in turn affects the ICG, etc.
We will get back to the group on Monday, once we also have greater clarity on the status of work party progress.
Thanks to all of you for your commitment and inputs, which we encourage to focus on the working party inputs at this precise point.
Mathieu
