2. Membership Members selected by their national statistical authority Membership is voluntary Country can have multiple representatives but 1 o representative must be designated There will be representation of persons with disabilities on the WG via international organizations representing persons with disabilities Well-recognized international organizations with formal relationship to NSOs and with expertise in disability statistics may be adjunct members

3. Membership In the past, we have updated the mailing list by contacting current WG participants and asking them if they wish to remain on the list However, this does not allow re-assignment by the NSO and many countries are not currently participating in the WG Should our practice be to update the membership list annually by contacting directors of NSOs rather than WG members?
