[governance] Formal IGC response to IBSA proposal ahead of 18-19 Summit?

[Carlos A. Afonso]

I think we can and should do better. I recall this part of Nupef's
statement:

"Nupef recognizes that the IBSA recommendations might be an interesting
starting point for a discussion if reformulated and improved, not only
in its content but also in the process of its further development,
including a wider range of civil society voices in an open,
participatory and transparent process."

This is what I think we should be proactively doing. What could be
improved, changed (in what direction), discarded and so on? Nupef is
trying to do its part in a dialogue with the BR gov (unfortunately in
pt_br so far). I suspect the SA CS is trying to do the same, and so are
our CS fellows from India.

Time is quite short, though.
