JIACGConcerns

• Doesnt by-pass any agency lines of authority
  and communications. Is this just a high-priced
  liaison group?
• What about the role of the POLAD Ambassadors
  country team?
• Who do they work for?
• What are the expectations of parent agency and
  CINC staff?
• How are they educated, trained and tracked for
  this role?
• What is the appropriate expertise and seniority
  of those assigned to this function?
