A/HRC/22/21 additional meeting time or when a treaty passes a milestone for expansion. Apart from such triggering events (for which the estimated requirements are rarely fully approved), there has been no comprehensive review of the workload and resourcing of the treaty bodies. The Secretary-General will work to ensure that the secretariat provides all information relating to the operational costs of the treaty body system, including the cost of the current system, including for conference services and documentation, as well as the additional resources required to clear the current backlog, as requested by the co-facilitators. 29. In order to create greater foreseeability and efficiency, the Secretary-General has also recommended the establishment of a fixed calendar for reporting, which allocates meeting time according to the number of State parties and the number of reports due. The High Commissioner fleshed out this proposal for a “comprehensive reporting calendar” in her above-mentioned report. 30. The Secretary-General continues to follow the intergovernmental process on treaty body strengthening with great attention, and hopes that the meaningful participation of all stakeholders in this process, including treaty body experts and civil society actors, will assist in bringing it to a fruitful conclusion at the next session of the General Assembly. 7
