Chief Commissioner Professor Mesfin Araya highlighted the wide and massive nature of the process and said rapporteurs have a big contribution. He noted that high professional responsibility is required to record discussion outcomes accurately and impartially.
The session covered handling of dialogue minutes, document preparation, information quality and ethics. Participants were selected from universities, courts, civic associations and through individual representation.
