288. The Chairman informed Members that a draft Annual Report of the Council had been circulated in document JOB(03)/177. He suggested that the Secretariat would be requested to update the draft to reflect the discussions at the present meeting. This draft would be faxed to Members, who would have two days to comment on the updated parts of the draft report once it had been circulated by the Secretariat. The Chair indicated that this short period for comments was due to the fact that the report had to be circulated in time for the General Council's meeting of 13-14 December.
