[Sala: This is a very good question. The reality is that no civil society
organisation can purport to represent the views of all civil society.
However the critical thing to note is that in this instance this is not
asking for consensus of views on substantive policy matters but are more to
do with administrative matters pertaining to selection of civil society
representatives. I am not sure how open they will feel about consensus
amongst civil society organisations on fielding names for committees such
as the MAG etc. But it's worth a shot. ]

articles or objectives as we are governed by the Charter, However, because
we share more common features than other stakeholder groups, it makes sense
to have cohesive collaborative framework for things like:-

1) MS Selection processes;
2)Joint Initiatives - Advocacy on mutual issues and priority areas
