Olivier,
I support the letter with one suggestion : Have the chairs and/or co-chairs of the constituencies attend the close meeting as observers.
I think that asking for this will be met with immediate resistance from some GAC/Board members. We do ask for this in a somehow more courteous way by saying: "- that the Chair and/or Vice Chairs of SOs and ACs might, at a common GAC-Board invitation, appear or make statements for a part of the closed meetings, provided there is consensus between GAC and Board on their presence." This leaves the decision to GAC and Board. It lets the door to open potentially, but does not kick it in. Kind regards, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
