Advisors
editThe idea behind the MCDC Advisors initiative is to gather in-depth feedback and content contributions from a range of people beyond the MCDC membership with the flexibility to participate to their preferred extent. The advisory role is voluntary.
Advisors:
- participated in certain MCDC working meetings and discussions under the Chatham House rule;
- worked on the furthering of drafts, by MCDC invitation; and
- received previews of the drafts for early input and feedback.
Advisors did not possess voting rights, were not required to travel, and were not granted access to confidential or privileged information beyond their involvement in Charter drafts. Advisors had access to Charter drafts that may be embargoed.
