Topics discussed included G8 summit expansion, the implications of the financial crisis, approaches to break the climate change / energy security deadlock, initiatives to counter nuclear proliferation, development imperatives, the Afghanistan conundrum, methods to engage civil society, proposals to increase the accountability and credibility of the G8 process, and potential future geo political surprises that could complicate Summit preparations.
