<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Are we tied to having the Plenary in
September? We probably are for 2015, because we informally asked
the Chinese delegation if they could host the Plenary in September
2015, but beyond that I think we could shift the meetings a month
later. January is an unattractive time to be meeting anywhere in
the northern hemisphere.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m simply
trying to make the gaps between F2F meetings more uniform.
And since we’re tied to a Plenary each September, that left
only one obvious alternative, every 4 months around that. We
have some good synergy at F2F meetings and to go up to 6
months between (September to March), I think, has the
potential for us to lose some momentum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
In 2012 we (briefly) managed an every-four-months pattern of
meetings: February - June - October. Is it your view that a
January - May - September pattern would be easier to
schedule?<br>

we’ve had March, June, and September meetings, leaving a

starting in 2015, we adopt a January, May, September
