Dear all
For my part, personally and pending responses from IRP Coalition members
who can provide their input too here, I welcome this suggestion.
The MAG needs to be supported, redeemed, and provided with new "juice".
If a viable alternative presents itself then let's hear it but in the
meantime for the coming year an open nomination process across these
groups identifying as civil society for new MAG members strikes me as a
constructive way forward.
