                                              we discussed the reasons
                                              that these discussions
                                              about civil society
                                              coordination have recently
                                              re-surfaced and those on
                                              the call reiterated the
                                              commitment to global-level
                                              coordination and the need
                                              to work together in a less
                                              fragmented way. We looked
                                              at the survey results and
                                              discussed the fact that
                                              although about half of the
                                              respondents supported
                                              exploring a 'merger' with
                                              IGC, around half also
                                              thought expanding the
                                              mandate of the CSCG could
                                              be an option. However,
                                              those on the call
                                              mentioned that the
                                              historical standing of the
                                              IGC is important to
                                              leverage and there is
                                              complementary between
                                              Bestbits and IGCs
                                              mandates. Therefore, we
                                              shouldn't lose that in
                                              whatever we choose to do

                                              discussed that proposing
                                              something more concrete to
                                              the IGC would be helpful
                                              in terms of how a 'merger'
                                              could work. We were
