According to Wikipedia:
<br>
<br>
"Each calendar year, the responsibility of hosting the G8 rotates
through the member states in the following order: France, United
States, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, and
Canada."

We could go further than we have, and argue that there should be no
e-G8 next year, even if it were opened to broader participation,
since it is duplicative and it distracts attention from other fora
in which civil society's resources are already thinly enough spread.<br>
