M LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL CONCERNING WAYS TO IMPROVE THE TIMELINESS AND COMPLETENESS OF NOTIFICATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION FLOWS
367. The Chairman recalled that, at its past few meetings, the Council had had on its agenda the letter from the Chair of the General Council concerning ways to improve the timeliness and completeness of notifications and other information flows in the area of its responsibility. In order to facilitate the Council's consideration of that issue, the Secretariat had presented to the October 2009 meeting a factual background note (IP/C/W/543) it had prepared at the Council's request that summarized the relevant procedures and provided information on the use of those procedures. It also contained suggestions on how to improve the transparency and user-friendliness of the notification system. Furthermore, at the subsequent meeting, the Secretariat had orally reported on further developments in that area. Those delegations that had spoken on the issue had supported the suggestions contained in that note to improve the transparency of the system, and encouraged the Secretariat to continue to pursue that task. At its last meeting, the Council had agreed to revert to the agenda item at the present meeting so as to provide Members with a further opportunity to share any comments that they might have on the matter, and also to allow the Secretariat to inform the Council on any further enhancements to its services improving the transparency and user-friendliness of the notification system.
