Some Questions: <br>1. How easy is it for the consolidated CS to reach a consensus? <br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>[Sala: This is a very good question. The reality is that no civil society organisation can purport to represent the views of all civil society. However the critical thing to note is that in this instance this is not asking for consensus of views on substantive policy matters but are more to do with administrative matters pertaining to selection of civil society representatives. I am not sure how open they will feel about consensus amongst civil society organisations on fielding names for committees such as the MAG etc. But it's worth a shot. ]<br>

<br></div></div></blockquote><div>[Sala: They clearly don't and would be governed by their respective articles or objectives as we are governed by the Charter, However, because we share more common features than other stakeholder groups, it makes sense to have cohesive collaborative framework for things like:-<br>

I am not subscribed to other lists so have opted to list the coordinators of these lists instead. In light of the MAG renewal and selections, I would like to invite you to consider whether the idea for a joint NomCom where civil society can channel selections in a consolidated form.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There should also be a consolidated framework of expected standards of behaviour and deliverables for MAG civil society representatives and in matters of accountability to the civil society at large. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If it is too late to consider this for this round, it is still something that collectively civil society can communicate to UNDESA if there is consensus for this. This will ensure no "gaming" of systems and will demand accountability and encourage an open and transparent process. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For the Business community, they are in consensus that the ICC is to facilitate the process. Whilst for civil society there is no consensus on a any single body to represent the selection process, I feel that it is something that should at least be discussed. </div>
