Perhaps. But can we by the same token demand that goverment aggregate their views? There are so many of them, after all...:-)

Seriously, I agree w. Jeanette that IGC can coordinate and orchestrate interventions, and it can do so without committing the caucus as a whole, much less "civil society," to a single position. E.g., if four of us think that one issue is a big deal but 6 others don't, we can identify those divergent views and agree (or not) that two people will express one and two another. or any other permutation.
