Review of Cartagena Regional Leadership Meeting Agenda

Wolf: I would like to add a revision of the Board selection process from a RALO perspective to the agenda in Cartagena.

Hong: I fully agree to with that. This is a very important issue. Each RALO has a different approach to this the petition process and the Board selection and a comparison would be quite interesting. 

...

Wolf: With regards to outreach, in EURALO we recently had discussions with possible new applicants from Eastern Europe .Tijani: Olivier and myself are involved in WT Cin EURALO.

Wolf: Tijani do you want to include a discussion on the other WT recommendations .in the agenda?

Tijani: No, I don't think it is necessary as there will be further discussions on the WT recommendations in Cartagena.

Tijani: I think 30 minutes is not enough to discuss the outreach recommendations.

Hong: Should we give some time to discuss RALO policy processes? I think this is an interesting topic. We could compare the different policy processesdevelopment mechanisms in the RALOs.

Wolf: I think this is an important issue and should be discussed by the RALO leaders. However, there is not much time available for discussions in Cartagena. Do you think there would be a possibility to have an additional, informal meeting during one of the evenings? This could be a possiblity to discuss this further.

...

Hong: I don't think we have sufficient time to discuss this specific policy issues during the Secretariat meeting in Cartagena. I would rather focus on how the RALOs are engaging their ALSes to provide policy input.

Wolf: Is there approval that this should be further looked at in Cartagena? Or should Should the discussions on this topic be initiated in Cartagena and further discussed in the coming following weeks? Is there approval that this item could be discussed informally during an evening session in Cartagena?

There were no objections.

AI: Wolf will work with the RALO leadership to organize an informal get-together in Cartagena to discuss, among other things, the RALO policy development processes.
