Page | 18 Second APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting and Related Meetings 10 – 21 May 2015 Meeting of APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade 23 – 24 May 2015 Boracay Island, Aklan 13.9 Information Disclosure – Deliberative Information APEC operates by consensus and needs space to consider and debate issues away from public scrutiny to develop that consensus. For the deliberative process to function optimally, it is necessary to safeguard the free and candid exchange of ideas. Therefore, while APEC makes publicly available summary reports and other documents classified for public release by the originating fora, meeting participants are expected to display sensitivity in disclosing information to the public during the course of its deliberations. 14. DRESS CODE The dress code for APEC SOM2 and Related Meetings and the Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Trade is smart casual (no jacket or tie,) unless otherwise noted on invitations for specific events. Delegates can expect sweltering temperatures in Boracay in May. It is therefore highly recommended that they wear comfortable fabrics such as linen or cotton, and light colored clothes. Most meeting venues are air conditioned; bringing a light jacket or a shawl is advisable. Some hotels may not have a jetty; during transfers from accredited hotels to the meeting venue(s) and vice versa, delegates may have to wade in ankle-‐ or knee-‐deep sea water to get in and/or get off the water taxi. Delegates may hence wish to bring “beach casual” wear, including rubber slippers or sandals that can withstand exposure to saltwater, to supplement their “smart casual” apparel. While the use of rubber slippers, flip flops, or sandals is recommended when transferring from the hotel to the meeting venues (movement from station to station,) walking along the beach, and/or getting on and off the water taxis, delegates are discouraged from wearing such footwear during the SOM2, MRT, and related meetings. Casual footwear (except flip flops and sport shoes) are suggested in lieu of men’s dress shoes and ladies’ high heeled shoes. 15. 15.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Boracay Island, Aklan Boracay Island is located in Malay, Aklan a province in the Western Visayas region.
