Thanks for flagging me :-) Sorry I did not pick it up earlier.

This coalition is not at all an issue-based governance network of the sort
I was alluding to. It is a traditional advocacy group - without taking any
sides on the substance of their position. They call themselves a coalition
and I think it does not leave room for ambiguity.

Issue-based governance networks need to be multi-stakeholder and, by
definition, should include and actors with divergent perspectives and
interests (the relevant stakeholders, whatever the criteria are). They also
need to have deliberation procedures of sort...

I do not accept the argument that the creation of an additional advocacy
group undermines the concept of issue-based governance networks.

Best

Bertrand
