Lea, thanks.
According to the webcast page the meeting has not started yet, and it is already 5 minutes past the hour.
Is the start time running late, or is the webcast broken?
thanks,
Paul

However, we plan to follow up on the asks addressed in the letter on ITU PP openness and transparency which many of you here endorsed. In particular, we plan to follow up on the asks of facilitating registration of on-site observers, holding regular meetings with CS, and setting up an online mechanism for submitting information documents to the Conference.

Due to delegation rules we most likely won't be in a position to raise any issues related to substantive discussions taking place at the PP.

This meeting was confirmed at the last minute - the ITU sent the official invites to national delegations who then extended them to their civil society reps (or in some cases - didn't). The good news is that two additional meetings with civil society are planned for weeks 2 and 3, so we will hopefully be able to be more coordinated going into those meetings.
