      <br>
      My name is on this list but I concur with Bill and Anriette that
      people who have put in a lot of work and are familiar with the
      nuts and bolts of the process should be re-nominated. A single
      term ain't enough for them to extract the full potential of the
      process.<br>

            Good day, I think its important for continuity especially as
            in my opinion  the current CS MAG members are doing a great
            work and have really put in a lot of time to this  , I

              <div>Just woke up and am rushing to a meeting but would
                appreciate clarification.  When was the call for
                nominations, when was the deadline for submission, and
                when was the period in which list members then expressed
                views either way before you decided to go ahead?  Some
                of us are a bit busy in Buenos Aires dealing with Brazil
                meeting and such and are awash in a tidal wave of
                communications and meetings, so I at least missed all
                this.  </div>

              <div>By selecting these six names, including just two
                current CS MAG members, do you wish to convey to the
                Secretariat and DESA that you do not support the
                continued participation of all the current CS MAG
                members not listed, irrespective of the time and work
                they’ve put in, how long they’ve been been on it, etc?</div>
              <div><br>
