[anticipated apologies for duplicate messages] 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. > >> 450 from govs 500-550 from non-gov, non-UN stakeholders 100 >> journalists 50 IGOs/UN reps > > Where these numbers come from ?

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.
