People ask about the WHO Deadlines, so I made a chart to clarify them

While the deadline for NEW amendments is late Jan 2024, the WHO is claiming that the modified amendments to be voted on in May were derived from amendments tabled in 2022, so they met its deadline.

The January deadline could be raised by a member, and the member from Monaco queried this deadline in December. If no members dispute it, the public will have a hard time doing so. But member states can still demand that any newly crafted amendments varying significantly from what was proposed in 2022 be tabled 4 months in advance of a vote, so nation states have time to review them. The member states can also question the secrecy with which these amendments are being negotiated.
