nominated from developed countries would need to have access to
funding to attend meetings of the MAG. Support for MAG meetings
is not easy to get and is generally only available for people from
developing countries. In my time on the MAG from 2012 to 2014 I
think I only received UN support to attend a MAG meeting on 2
occasions and on one of those the funding did not include airfare.<br>
