I consider it to be perfectly  legitimate for the MAG or MAG members in their advisory role to pass on a message to the UN on changing the dates of the meeting.

While some MAG members have expressed some reservations, I note that many have explicitly supported this suggestion and nobody has spoken against passing on this message.  It is not my intention to reach a full consensus within the group in this matter, as this might take to long and speed is the essence if we want to prevent the dates from being locked in.
