A/66/44 M. Reporting guidelines 20. At its forty-fifth and forty-sixth sessions, the Committee continued to discuss the revision of its treaty-specific reporting guidelines, in the light of the harmonized guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties, including guidelines on a common core document (as contained in HRI/GEN/2/Rev.6). However, in the light of its continued evaluation of its optional reporting procedure, the Committee discussed the relevance of also adopting guidelines for reports submitted under this procedure and/or general common guidelines. N. General Assembly resolution 65/204 21. At its forty-fifth session, the Committee welcomed General Assembly resolution 65/204 of 21 December 2010, in which the Assembly authorized the Committee to meet for an additional week per session as a temporary measure, with effect from May 2011 until the end of November 2012, further to its request to the General Assembly for appropriate financial support to this effect. 22. The Committee also noted the request to the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its sixty-sixth session concrete proposals on the human rights treaty bodies, building on the work of the Secretary-General pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 9/8 of 24 September 2008 and of the treaty bodies in this regard, to improve their effectiveness and to identify efficiencies in their working methods and costs in order to better manage their workloads and programmes of work, bearing in mind budgetary constraints and taking account of the varying burdens on each treaty body. 23. At its forty-sixth session, the Committee continued to discuss measures to improve the effectiveness of its working methods and costs in order better to manage its workloads and programmes of work. Along these lines, it decided, inter alia, that it will continue its evaluation of the optional reporting procedure (see chap. II, sect. C). O. Examination of reports 24. In the light of General Assembly resolution 65/204 authorizing it to meet for an additional week per session as a temporary measure, at its forty-fifth session, the Committee decided to increase the number of States parties’ reports examined from six to eight for its May session and from six to nine for its November session, maintaining a dialogue with representatives of States parties of five hours per report. 4 GE.11-45568
