Litterateur Indira Raisom Goswami and former footballer player Rebati Phukan act as facilitators, and maintain links between the government and the consultative group. Shortly after it was formed, the group asked people of the state to express their opinion about the peace process. About 5,670 people responded to that survey of which 1,500 odd were through SMS, another 1,700 through e-mails, and rest through land mail. The results of the survey were not announced Amar Asom exposed it. The result, according to the newspaper, only 300 or so people supported ULFA and its cause, while the rest voiced their opinion in the negative."
