Cancelling that meeting presumes that a decision on the JAS report will not be deferred at the Sept 22 meeting. If it were deferred, a vote taken at the Oct 6 meeting would still be effective (ie a decision of the GNSO prior to Dakar, even if a day late for the official document cutoff).

Councillors,
As a side-effect of pushing back our September meeting to the 22nd, our meeting calendar for October now no longer seems to make much sense.
We have 2 meetings planned in October, the first on Oct 6 and the second is the Open Meeting in Dakar on Oct 26.
The first meeting has a deadline for motions on Sept 28, so that's just days after our Sept 22 meeting.
In light of all this, I would like to suggest we simply cancel the meeting planned on Oct 6 and return to our standard one-month interval between meetings with our Open Meeting on Oct 26.
This would also have the added benefit of making the Oct 26 meeting more relevant. You will remember that in Singapore, we suffered a little in drafting the agenda for our Open Meeting there because we'd had a Council teleconference just days before the Singapore meeting.
Does anyone object to canceling the Oct 6 meting?
Thanks,
Stéphane
