A majority of the contributors were developing country participants, not 'well meaning policy geeks' - and in the case of one from Indonesia, we (CCIA) arranged for his travel and expenses to be covered so he could attend at all as it seemed important to us that developing country voices should be heard from.<div><br></div><div>A tiny handful of us - almost entirely non-MAG - were left to our own devices in organising a main session. Candidly, MAG members ought to be glad someone took it on, since with the exception of Olga the rest mostly didn't even attend. <br>

Development, tried yet again, and not satisfactory yet again (if going to do such sessions it must include a majority of developing country participants, and contributors who are development experts rather than well meaning policy geeks.)</span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
