DUMMY TEXT FROM GERMANWATCH

1. Mute yourself when you are not speaking.

2. Timekeeping: Due to the different time zones we tried to limit the duration of our conference and at the same time get as much as possible out of the time we have. We therefore ask you to strictly adhere to the time indications given by the moderators.

3. If possible, turn your video on during the conference. If you have a problem with your connection only turn your video on when you speak.

4. Don't leave the meeting room during the breaks. We will need the breaks to create breakout rooms. During the break simply switch off your camera and microphone.

5. Please rename yourself: (first) name, organisation abreviation, country, for French only speakers F (Example: Sarah, WWF, France, F)
