The Applicants submitted that they were notified of the decision on 19 June 2013 upon receiving an email from the Director, Chef de Cabinet in response to a 29 May 2013 letter. Upon review, it was determined that the letter sent to the Secretary-General on 29 May 2013 included a 21 May 2013 statement by the Applicants that referred extensively to the budget which had been submitted on 9 May 2013. The requests for management evaluation were filed on 29 July 2013 which is more than 60 days after the 21 May 2013 statement that indicated that the Applicants were fully aware of the contested decision. The email of 19 June 2013 was the Organization’s notification of its refusal to consider the Applicants' latest proposal and not the notification that a budget for the biennium 2014–2015 had been submitted. The Tribunal finds that, at the very latest, the Applicants received notice of the 9 May 2013 publication of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2014–2015 on 21 May 2013. In line with the Appeals Tribunal’s case law, 21 May 2013 is the date by which the applicable time limits would have started to run, resulting in any request for management evaluation being due by 20 July 2013. The requests for management evaluation that led to this consolidated application were filed on 29 July 2013. Accordingly, the Applicants’ requests for management evaluation were not filed within the requisite period of 60 days. The applications by the 46 Applicants are dismissed.
