[governance] public consultation for Rio on May 23

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi Karen and Vittorio,

the advisory group is expected to meet afterwards on May 24 and 25. Its 
a bit preliminary though since the secretariat needs to get final 
confirmation from New York.

As far as the purpose is concerned, my understanding is that the open 
consultation in February had more of a stock taking character to find 
out what people liked and what they disliked about the Athen's meeting.

As Robin has already reported, the secretariat understood that the 
general format was well received. So, the four sessions will most likely 
remain, just the order could change.
There also be an open call for workshops again. However, it could be 
that the secretariat together with the advisory group also organizes a 
few workshops. This hasn't been decided yet and could be a point of 
discussion in May.
I think it would be good to take into account the secretariat's paper. 
It might address issues the caucus wants to pick up.
