Workshops have been reviewed collectively in the past through Google 
docs/excel through an invitation of a civil society MAG member to some 
members of the IGC or a few members of the IGC has been also invited to 
help in the organization of the main sessions (especially CIR) since we 
did not have a MAG from civil society with the knowledge on that topic: 
Izumi, Bill Drake, Marilia, and many others do so in previous year. I 
think, its up to new MAG to decide how they want to organize.

BTW: Why changing the venue is a newsworthy event or it is just an 
informational one?  Does it has an implication for civil society to 
raise awareness of their work in  human rights? Unfortunately, I wasn't 
able to attend the meeting remotely (the connection was not working well 
for me ) and I haven't heard about it before. Any explanation on that 
point would be really helpful for me (who is trying to not get engage 
in  "process work" but focus on the "substance". If there is a 
connection between the venue (current one) and the ability of civil 
society to do their work in that venue, that would be an important news 
that I also would like to know.

Are we having problems with the venue? (I do not know).
