I apologise if this question has already been asked, but in terms of the practical details around this committee's representation at such meetings, is there a way of getting advice on what we should prioritise attending? We do indeed get invitations to many different meetings and clearly we would particularly wish to be represented only where the meeting is going to produce some sort of common position like this one. Is there a way of knowing in advance, so we could prioritise giving limited resources and time? My second question is whether most committees that are active at this level tend to send the chairperson or a specialist designated from within the committee? Clearly, continuity is better if the same person goes all the time.
