Hi,

We each approach this in our own way.

I think I can do my job of representing the interests of the Civil Society submissions better by not having my own.  

You think otherwise.  

Cool.

One advantage of some positions coming with their own WGEC champions is I will feel less obligation to defend them since their primary defenders will be in place as members of the group already.  i figure one of my roles in the WGEC, at least in the early stages is to make sure that all CS positions that don't come with a WGEC champion get a fair hearing.

I respect your position, of course, as well.
