list. Any public strategy that we can share here, can always harm
our collective efforts in spaces where disclosing your strategy in
advance is a big problem and can harm our work.

I would like to ask the coordinators to create a list for IGC-only
members that is close to their members. In that way, civil society
MAG members will be able to provide a better report after the
meeting.

Now that we have an online membership database, it is possible -
trivial, in fact - for me to create a parallel mailing list
consisting of those who voted in the last election and self-affirmed
their membership of the IGC. Members would not have to separately
subscribe or unsubscribe; subscription to the parallel list would be
automatic for members of the main list who voted, and unsubscription
from the main list would propagate to the parallel list. The
archives of the parallel list could be restricted to its members.
However for privacy reasons I would like to ask whether anyone
objects to being included on such a list? Also, are there any
concerns that this would breach our charter (I don't think so,
myself)?<br>
