5 or 6 people, max? Ridiculous. This is an inherently bad, undemocratic
method. 

Governments such as the EC try to impose false notions of "representation"
on civil society, by seeking a few "spokespersons" or "representatives."
Their only real object is to make their job easier. We should decline to
cooperate with this political version of artificial scarcity, and just
insist on an open meeting. I am serious. If you are so flattered that they
asked for your opinion, but go along with their attempt to reduce civil
society to a few privileged voices, you are completely missing the point.

Following the one in Nairobi last year, European commission and European
Parliament 

people want to hold an informal meeting with civil society members and 

asked Wolfgang to coordinate.

 

Since this is an informal meeting with limited space, we need to find and
decide who will

be there. Around  5 or 6 people, max.
