        You need to especially clarify what does participating in all
        policy processes in "a full and equal manner" mean.<br>
        <br>
        This kind of stuff cannot be employed loosely... It must pass
        the democracy text. Do you really mean that a google of ICC rep
        at IG policy processes should have voting rights, as gov reps
        are likely to have. Yes or No. <br>
        <br>
        Otherwise what does full and equal manner of participation
        mean...<br>
        <br>
        Please clarify. <br>
