People with multiple expertise and background would have been the way to go, but unless we have decided for the fully appointed body (which was opposed by pretty much everybody) it is unclear how this could be realized.

Hi all,

I'm curious as to what the ideal distribution of members might have
been? NWE has 3 members, which seems like an outlier, but all the others
were 1 or 2 - so which would you have picked to have 1 member rather
than 2? Or should there just be more members overall (good for the
global council itself, less good for a drafting committee)?

Thanks,
Mike
