1. This is an action request. (See para 2.)
2. The ROKG requests that the following changes be made to
the GICNT Workshop/EPG Meeting announcement contained in
reftel, para 6.
-- In the first paragraph, change the title of the GICNT
workshop to "Current Progress in Detecting and Responding to
the Illicit Transport and Trafficking of Nuclear and
Radioactive Materials." The ROKG believes the title change
provides more context and scope to what "responding" might
mean.
-- In the first paragraph, change the EPG meeting date from
"April 15" to "April 16." As currently written, the demarche
announcement has the EPG meeting beginning on the same day as
the second day of the GICNT Workshop.
-- In the second paragraph, change "NLT" to "no later than."
The ROKG wanted the demarche announcement to be clear since
it expects that the announcement would be left as a non-paper.
-- In the sixth paragraph, change "Dr. Yu, Donghan at
dhyu@kinac.re.kr" to "Dr. Kwak, Sungwoo at
swkwak@kinac.re.kr" since Dr. Kwak now handles the portfolio.
-- The ROKG also asks that the demarche announcement
includes the proposed agenda (schedule),which can also be
left as a non-paper.
-- The ROKG agrees that the demarche instructions should
include instructions indicative of reftel, para 5.
3. Please contact the ROKG POC, Eun-Jin Park at
ejpark07@mofat.go.kr, if there are any questions.
