MINUTES OF MEETING
HELD IN THE CENTRE WILLIAM RAPPARD
ON 26 OCTOBER 2022[1]
Chairperson:
H.E. Dr Athaliah Lesiba MOLOKOMME (Botswana)
Prior
to the adoption of the Agenda: (i) the Chairperson
welcomed all delegations participating in the present
meeting of the DSB both in-person and remotely. She recalled a few technical
instructions regarding the virtual participation of delegates. If a Member was
unable to take the floor during the meeting because of a technical issue, the
delegation could inform the Secretariat and that Agenda item would remain open
until the delegation could take the floor. In the alternative, the item would
remain open temporarily, the meeting would proceed to the next Agenda item, and
the DSB would revert to the open item after the technical issue had been
resolved. If a technical issue remained unresolved, the delegation had the
option to send the statement to the Secretariat with the request that it be
read out by the Secretariat on behalf of that delegation during the meeting so
that the statement could be reflected in the minutes of the meeting; and (ii) the Chairperson made a short statement regarding item 4 of the
proposed Agenda of the 28 April 2021 DSB meeting pertaining to the DS574
dispute. She said that, as Members recalled, that matter had been removed from
the proposed Agenda to allow time for the Chair's consultations with each
interested party regarding that Agenda item. At the present meeting, she wished
to inform delegations that, like the previous Chair of the DSB, she continued
to consult with each interested party on this matter and that those
consultations were ongoing.
The DSB took note
of the statements and adopted the Agenda.
