Dear Glen, colleagues,
May I suggest that we consider modifying the times (not the dates) within our rotation, as 11, 15 and 18 UTC range from 10pm - 5am in Asia Pacific. A more equitable rotation whereby each time zone cluster (North/South America, Europe/Middle East, Asia Pacific) has at least one meeting during working hours would be beneficial and would take on board the feedback received in the recent GNSO Review as to facilitating participation from regions outside of Europe and North America.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Heather
Dear Councillors,
Please find a draft
proposal for the Council dates for the next 12 months as stipulated in the GNSO
Operating Procedures. We are working on rotation times with the new distribution
of Councillors, Your comments and feedback are most welcome and will help to get
the dates in place.
