[CWG-Stewardship] Scheduling: regular teleconference meetings + F2F in November

[Fouad Bajwa]

One thing that is insensitive is the venue of an Amsterdam f2f meeting.
There is no indication of diversity and distribution of the 19 members to
be allowed. We developing country people cannot just fly into EU countries
like our US and EU colleagues. The f2f meetings should have taken place in
countries like Dubai, Turkey etc, where visa acquisition is much easier.
