How about setting in place more of a procedure, rather than leaving  
reporting ad hoc as at present?  For example, producing a regular  
fortnightly or monthly summary of discussions, and filling in any gaps  
in the reports of in-person meetings would be helpful.  This doesn't  
let the Chairs of the Advisory Group off the hook for not formalising  
such procedures, but since it's within the power of the CS  
representatives to increase the transparency of the MAG independently,  
it confuses many that they haven't.
