List of G20 Sherpas

This is a list of the G20 Sherpas - or most of them and it will be up-dated as new information comes in. If you can fill in some of the missing information, then emailsherpa@sherpatimes.com . 
For those not familar with the term, a Sherpa is the President or Prime Minister's personal representative responsible for negotiating the outcome document at international events such as the G8 and G20. The Sherpa is usually a senior diplomat, civil servant or in some cases, politician. There are also Sous-Sherpas - usually a finance sous-sherpa and a foreign affairs sous-sherpa who report to the main Sherpa. There are also Yaks, but I am not sure what they are. 

Most G8 countries, except Canada, have only one Sherpa who deals with both the G8 and G20 negotiations. Canada has one Sherpa for the G20 (more senior) and one for the G8.
