[Ncsg-discuss] [Info] Review of Reviews l Refined outline

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Dear Chair,
Thank you for the update. I will be willing to lead the drafting of our
input.

The first concern is NCSG's absence from the working group (although we
have Avri there).

There are other pertinent concerns we raised after the presentation of the
draft RoR report that our input would address clearly. Some concerns
include ensuring the review is not used to undermine an unpopular
constituency (especially,  structural review). Another issue of concern is
to  whom a particular SG or constituency is responsible,

I will be interested in attending the webinar.


Kind regards,
Benjamin
