It is also unclear (to me, at least) who the civil society MAG members are at the moment, which makes it difficult to coordinate (or hold someone to account).<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I'm still not fully sure how the whole thing works (we have been threatened with an induction process), but I plan to do my best to represent the views of the community as a civil society member.
