<DIV>What is this increased process that Parminder is speaking of? I could maybe see some more clarity here like: More step by step process for debate and submission of matters to be debated. And, doing away with this constant call for consensus and group statements. Clearly we are mandated to discuss and broaden understanding -- not make platforms and propose agendas.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv792276519><FONT face=Verdana>Hi everyone,<BR><BR>I expect to be at the Geneva OC meetings May 10th and 11th, to act as onsite remote moderator (to present any substantive remote comments or questions), and to represent the IGC.<BR><BR>While discussions have moved forward on workshop proposals, I have not seen any concrete suggestions for an IGC statement. Are there points the IGC membership would like to make? Are there affiliated (IRP, Gender, etc.) groups who are making statements that the IGC should support? Supporting actions of our members is one function that we have not exercised fully imho. However to do so, we need someone from the group to ask for IGC support, and to have consensus from the list.<BR><BR>As coordinators, Jeremy and I cannot take action for the IGC unless we know what the members want done/said, so that we represent the members of the IGC. <BR><BR>Please let us know what you would like the IGC to 'do' at the upcoming
OC.<BR><BR>Thanks! Regards, Ginger<BR></FONT></DIV><BR>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<BR><BR>
