Hi Adam,

Because it would be inappropriate I am deliberately not taking on a  role of
coordinating back to various networks as that is what the various reps
should do. But here is the reply from Fadi to Robin (copied to the reps
earlier).

Hello Robin,

I hope you had a good thanksgiving holiday. I took several days off and
regained a lot of energy after our busy week in Buenos Aires. I just got
back and ready for the next phase of work.

As I noted below and in Buenos Aires, we were never in a position to grow
the panel any further. In BA, however, after the panel was announced, we
made a final commitment to add only one panelist from the cc community, and
only one more from civil society -- understanding the need for broader
participation. Byron Holland from the cc community agreed to serve while in
Buenos Aires.

At this stage, and now that we have established this fifth panel as more
independent (in partnership with two other organizations), I will need to
confer with our partners on your request, as well as with the Chairman of
the panel. I predict that they will be sensitive to diversity.

I cannot meet with the chairman until next week on Wednesday. I will keep
you posted. It may be a little late for London but rest assured that Frank
La Rue, Lynn St. Amour, and myself will have our communities interests very
vigilantly on top of our agendas.

Fadi

Hi Ian,

Any reply to the CS coalition's recommendations?  The high level panel is
due to meet December 12-13 (London), a week from now.

Best,

Adam
