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><br></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></div><div>It seems unduly abrupt, so please note my objection as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br>

nominees, or other kinds of reps, or next steering committee's
membership, and so on.... These are serious. important issues
which should have a clear, transparent, accountable and thus
legitimate process around it. And I dont see that in place.</span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We have not chosen the MAG nominees, we have simply collected the nominations, suggested criteria that could be used to evaluate them, and forwarded them back to the main list with a recommendation. Although your objection was noted, most others were comfortable with this process and since we do not have voting or membership as such, we decided to go ahead. If appropriate your objection could probably be noted in some way in the letter that goes to the MAG.</div></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
