If a member cannot be present at 10 a.m., I will ask that he or she be facilitated. Reports are to be handed out at the meeting and are to be handed back as there will be no electronic version. If a member cannot make it and he or she needs an hour to update himself or herself by reading the report, I will ask the secretariat to facilitate this. The report will not leave the member's hands and go to the his or her office. However, a member can come in to sit down for an hour to catch up and then hand the draft report back. Is this fair enough? Someone could have difficulty getting here and we do not want to leave him or her out of the loop.
