<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #990000; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">If
your motion aims to ensure there are no excessive delays due to the 4 months
communications period, then it should be more specific about when the second
draft of the applicant guidebook is to be published. Otherwise delays in the
second draft’s publication will still lead to delays in starting the first
application round and the aim of your motion will be
defeated.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

far as I know, staff aims to have the second draft out a couple of weeks
before the Mexico meeting. If that’s the case, then adding something like:
“the second Draft Applicant Guidebook is posted for public comment will be
posted for comment at least a week before the first international meeting of
2009” would do the trick.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
