I agree and I think that that discussion can evolve into two different 
activities: first, lobbying (I think privately more than in public) for 
CS to be included in whatever process the UN SG will envisage and be 
kept in the loop, and second, once the shape of the process and of the 
forum is clearer, understanding whether and how we want to advocate to 
ourselves the honour and responsibility to select or suggest CS 
representatives.

My personal opinion on that is that I hope there's no need for "strong" 
CS representatives, but perhaps just for "secretariat-like" figures - 
this would lower pressure on the selection process. In case actual reps 
are necessary, however, I envisage a broader process than we did for the 
WGIG.

But for now, I would focus on making sure that the forum is approved in 
a way we like, and that we are kept into the loop since the first day 
after the Summit.
