Dear Councillors: I fully Agree with jeff on this point and the importance to talk deeply about it, does not mean that I agreed with the document but yes with the subject. In my point of view we need a kind of regulation on this matter to improve the great work of this groups, wich give us the possibilty to get different points of view coming from different positions making reality the bottom up process, the participation and diversity. But, also, I believe that is needed to clarify how it must functioning and how they get their conclusions in order to avoid useless differences.
