Karen Dee: We are relatively relaxed. We have not taken firm views on who they should be. Our overall perspective of the IPC is that it needs sufficient experts in sufficient areas of expertise or subjects so that it commands the respect needed to take those sorts of very important decisions.

We have not taken a firm view of all the areas that should be covered, but they need to be senior, well respected, well qualified people to make up the commission.
