Analyzes the potential impact of the following options regarding whether a future Independent Commission for Civil Society can be called for as part of the draft NGO law: (1) add a separate chapter to the NGO law; (2) include an article within the NGO law; (3) pass a separate law creating the Commission prior to passing the NGO law. Provides potential advantages and disadvantages for each option.
