Also at ICANN 50, the GAC made it known that they would prefer to have five seats on the Coordination Group (ICG), one for each ICANN region, rather than two. The GAC subsequently submitted five names for the ICG. In the lead-up to the first in-person meeting of the ICG, the group decided in a preliminary call that the topic of expanding GAC representation, as well as a more general discussion regarding whether the composition of the ICG was fit for purpose, would be added to the agenda of the first meeting.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/transcript-stewardship-coordination-10jul14-en.pdf ICANN.org Archive - Transcript - ICG Call #1], July 10, 2014</ref>
