Jorge, I am just trying to report, I do not have answers to every
question -- several of them will be properly answered as the committees
are in place and start their work.

The original arrangement was eight countries. Sorry, but regarding the
April meeting BR is not just a grand venue you rent to do your meeting,
it also has a say of course. BR has a clear view that one of the
outcomes should be a set of principles for IG worldwide.

The overall number is based on the venue and resources available.

As I said to Norbert, I cannot elaborate as I am just reporting, but
this is a tentative, initial collection of ideas to guide the meeting --
the actual agenda/themes/expected outcomes will be a result of the
process led by the two committees, especially the executive comm. One
goal will stand: developing the set of principles for IG worldwide.
