      <br>
      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>
