117. The Chairman recalled that a stocktaking exercise was foreseen for the end of March 2010. As far as this negotiating group was concerned, he said he would seek to reflect, where appropriate, any relevant information in his report to the TNC Chairman. This report would be factual and be on his own responsibility and without prejudice to any delegation's position. In order to ensure transparency and inclusiveness he would consult delegations as appropriate in the coming weeks.
118. With regard to their future substantive work, he suggested that the next formal meeting of the Special Session be held on 10 June 2010, back to back with the Regular Session of the TRIPS Council. He did not, however, exclude the possibility of having to meet in some format before the formal session, depending on the overall process.
