I agree, but from my perspective I generally see more information 
flowing from stakeholder groups to their MAG members, than back in the 
other direction. It's almost as if the expression "serving in their 
personal capacity" gives them an amnesty from reporting back.

My remarks are not aimed at any specific individuals, but perhaps some 
of them take the Chatham House rule to mean they can't say anything, 
when what it actually means is they can't attribute the speakers, but 
are not prohibited on reporting the sentiments expressed.
