Paulos, Some of the agenda points are static (such as the Working Group Updates – which became a standing topic on request of the Councillors several years ago; or Minutes, AOB etc – which are standard for agenda settings). However, many of the topics are actually new (see points 4 – 9). However, a good opportunity to raise this issue with the rest of the Council is during tomorrow's call, under AOB!

I think we should not miss the chance to pass over a meeting or two when there is nothing new to meet over and discuss.
