| schestowitz[TR2] | "Dear Colleagues, | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The General Consultative Committee (GCC) met by videoconference on 6 October 2025. The following items were on the agenda of the meeting and the CSC members of the GCC raised their concerns and tried to get further clarifications: | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Oct 17 02:06 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | AAG Joint Reports and Office Comments – for consultation GCC/DOC 13/2025 | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Circular 417: Contribution rates to the New Pension Scheme (NPS) applicable as from 1 January 2026 – for consultation GCC/DOC 14/2025 | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Circular 430: Contribution rates to the Salary Savings Plan (SSP) applicable as from 1 January 2026 – for consultation GCC/DOC 15/2025 | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Circular 416: Total contribution rate to the healthcare insurance scheme applicable as from 1 January 2026 (Article 83a(1) Service Regulations) – for consultation GCC/DOC 16/2025 | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Before the meeting, on 3 October, the CSC had sent a letter to the President, the Chair (VP5) and the GCC members to request a postponement of the increase of contributions in order to avoid that EPO staff in Munich, Berlin and Vienna see a salary decrease on their payslips of January 2026. | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In the meeting, the Chair gave the floor to PD4.3 who answered that the document containing the date of 1 January 2026 for applying the increase of contributions would not be changed. | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The detailed opinions by the CSC members of the GCC are annexed to this paper. | Oct 17 02:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sincerely yours," | Oct 17 02:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Oct 17 12:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>One of the biggest changes is a complete refactor of the link negotiation code. Applications now have better control over default values and can more precisely restrict available options, which means better format matching and smoother audio and video handling. The default negotiation process has also been fine-tuned to better align with the application’s expectations. </p> | Oct 17 12:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Oct 17 12:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>"A lot of work has been done in mobile phone freedom over the years that we'll be building on," said Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF, in a statement. "The FSF is now ready to do what is necessary to bring freedom to cell phone users. Given the complexity of the devices, this work will take time, but we're used to playing the long game." </p> | Oct 17 12:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> The aim of the Librephone initiative is to reverse-engineer various proprietary blobs so FOSS versions of the code can be created and used in place of freedom-limiting bits. </p> | Oct 17 12:41 |
