does this mean you do not see it a space that could develop positions  
that are put forward as caucus opinions?

this would arguably take some process formalization as well, but I am

personally i would like to see the IGC capable of your 2 goals plus  
the 3rd i added, but i am not sure i see a way forward and think that  
perhaps, the discussion space is all that can be counted on in a
