possibility we would suggest here is we could decide to enlarge the group

joined by one of the incoming IGC Co-ordinators. For additional voting members,
we suggest that we open it up to expressions of interest – but not only from
organisations, but also from individuals. That allows involvement of
representatives of multistakeholder groups with a strong relationship with civil
society (eg IRP). That might be a good step, and to this we could add rotation
of members.... or leave such questions until the co ordination group is fully
populated.</SPAN></P>
