Dear Members of the Executive Board and Mission Focal points,

 

Please be informed that the 31st meeting of the WHO Programme, Budget and Administration Committee of the Executive Board (29-31 January 2020) will be broadcasted using WebEx Web Conferencing technology.

 

If you would like to follow the debates by WebEx virtually, you can join us from 29 to 31 January from 09:30 onwards GVA/CET with the same link provided below.

 

The WebEx meetings can be joined using tablets, smart phones or personal computers. You need to have a headphone or speaker  and internet connection.  Participants will be able to see the presentations, watch speakers on their screen,  listen to the meeting.

 

Before the meeting

If you are using WebEx for the first time it is very important to make sure that you have the right players installed to view the media files in the meeting.   If you do not have administrator privileges on your computer you may need to contact you own Organization’s IT support to install these players.

WebEx will automatically setup Meeting Manager for Windows the first time you join a meeting. To save time, you can setup necessary software prior to the meeting by clicking this link: https://who-meeting.webex.com/who-meeting/meetingcenter/mcsetup.php

 

On the day of the meeting

Please try to log-on at least 15 minutes in advance to the WebEx session to allow you to test the connection and audio quality of your computer.  The session will be open early to allow for this. The meeting will be transmitted in six language sessions, so please make sure you click and register on the right language invitation link below While on WebEx, please remember to activate the mute button. The operator will automatically mute, but sometimes with many listeners this can be difficult, and people speak without realizing they can be heard.
