<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members of the IRP IOT,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you may already be aware, the CCWG Accountability co-chairs asked me last evening if we could yield our time slot on September 28 in order to allow the CCWG to schedule a timely follow-up plenary meeting to their September 27<sup>th</sup>
plenary – it appears clear that the plenary agenda is very full and will not be completed on the 27<sup>th</sup> alone. The CCWG has a good number of subgroup draft reports pending plenary consideration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This request was characterized as urgent, something I concur with as a CCWG member. Given the need for a quick decision and the lateness of the hour for me and the CCWG co-chairs I agreed on our behalf.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus, we will NOT be meeting on September 28<sup>th</sup> but will next meet on Oct. 5<sup>th</sup> (19:00 UTC) and at that time we will have 90 minutes available if needed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime, I will be sending notes to the list on several of the draft rules and will be continuing efforts to get to first and second readings as we have been discussing.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I apologize for this cancelation but felt that the co-chairs’ request was justified and that we should accommodate them.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all and I will see you on list and then on Oct. 5<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
