    thanks for the update Carolina - very useful.<br>
    On the concepts and process requirements: this needs more work
    currently ranging from very highlevel to practical (not a bad thing
    per se) but just to get the mix right for a concept note.  I think
    item 5 is very important and addresses some concerns about process
    (though probably not all).  perhaps worth clarifying what happens
    where various stakeholder groups do not agree (ie presumably
    consensus is needed).<br>
    I think a google or other shared doc for the DIGE document would be
    helpful. Good to see reference to the best bits statement there. I
    suspect the problem definition will be hardest to agree on.<br>
    i still believe having a separate line of communication with the
    Brazil government is important and is a unique role for Brazil civil
    society orgs and one of critical value for those without Portugese
    language. <br>
    Best and thanks again for your work on this<br>

                            Much more important: Nevertheless, things
                            seams to move fast. Today a thread was
                            initiated proposing to accelerate the
                            creation of an interim steering committee
                            (about<span style=""> 20 people, as far as I
                              understood, the same as who were at the
                              Friday meeting) which will then liaise
                              with their </span>respective
                            "stakeholder" groups. Quoting the admin of
                            the list, the reason was that the list is
                            "receiving every day requests to add new
                            people (specially from business community)"
                            and the proposal was to "create a clear
                            demarcation between the large group of
                            people ready to engage into the dialogue and
                            a subset of it that will facilitate and

                            <br>
                            It seams the drafting <span style="">group</span>
                            is escalating to a steering committee which
                            raises questions about the composition of

                            terms of number of representatives from each

                            Could this initiative be perceived as a
                            counter-weight to the Brazilian summit? (
                            There is no governments or international
                            organizations in the concept note. Carolina
                            and I made that point a few days ago, but it

                          that came up in our previous thread about the

                          If we engage with this we will have two tracks
                          to interact with: a) one regarding the Summit 
                          and the exchange of ideas with the Brazilian
                          government) + the other trying to reach a
                          common ground with the Dialogue. Sounds
                          complicated if we don't use our diversity in a
