As I said yesterday during the call, entering into a discussion about percentages and numbers is a dead end.
Upon whom exactly would the percentage be applied ? What wouldl be the criteria ? How do we define the membership of GAC ? Are international organisations, such as the African Union or the European Union, to be considered as full members ? Do we count the countries represented in the room only ? then what is the quorum ? how to count those who participate remotely ? How do we check that they do participate ?
Why 97% ? Where does this number come from ?
It is a very complicated process to set rules for voting. This is why we kept saying that the GAC shall be in control of them. Because they carry a lot of constraints, interests and collateral consequences. It will take the GAC a lot of time to decide on them.
If the CCWG really wants to make a proposal on this, nobody knows when the Pandora box will be closed again.
