> Council, with input from SG/Cs via their respective Council members. Are
> there other approaches that could be considered?

> ·         What should membership look like? How to ensure a balanced
> composition which at the same time is nimble enough to work effectively?
> How to introduce sufficient flexibility to allow for expert participation?
