[governance] open consultations and MAG meeting

[Meryem Marzouki]

There is something beyond my understanding here (sorry!). How could  
it be acknowledged that "Controversies persist around the question of  
what actually constitutes child _protection_" (i.e. people don't even  
agree on what is the topic about) and, at the same time, be decided  
(or felt) that these topics "are ready for some form of outcome, be  
it in the form recommendations, proposed codes of conducts, action  
lines or whatever"?
