As the Arctic Council takes on more and more activities, it's very difficult for the permanent participants to be involved in all of those, for the reasons John just mentioned.
One of the examples I can give you is with SAON with the observing networks. There was an agreement for one of the PPs, the Inuit Circumpolar Council, to represent the other five in that body and report back to them. It may be possible. I still think new resources are required, but for the PP organizations themselves to agree that perhaps one or two of them could represent the others. It doesn't always work out but there are times when it might be appropriate. We do have one example now.
