The Secretary General rang again, because he came back to me with the information that she was not happy about having to meet. However, I felt that if I had made the decision, I needed to send the letter. I was not going to change my mind. I obviously felt it was worthy of a meeting to discuss it. The Secretary General then rang the chair at approximately 7.10 p.m. to say exactly that, that I really felt it was still important. I could not change my mind on that when I had made the decision in discussion with the officials that we would be writing the letter and offering to meet in person or online.
