It sets forth the main areas for improving the existing structure and proposes specific measures for modifying it with a particular focus on a revised approach to the forming of the list of CGT members. Specifically, the article proposes reducing input thresholds and mandating the inclusion in a CGT of all members that meet the established requirements. The authors also make recommendations for improving the apportionment formula.
