is representative (including geographically, politically, <BR>and in respect of
gender balance)<BR>2. To consider in this examination whether
a structure capable of <BR>receiving and administering funds to assist with
civil society <BR>representatives attendance and travel should also be
established<BR>3. To consider workload and whether it is in
