you to reflect on how much this ideology played a role in
your being selected for the High Level Panel process as an
“expert” advisor, while Milton Muller (who is known to speak
his mind without worrying about 'being nice') was actually
one of the CS nominees to the High Level Panel.</div>

No, it is entirely what I would expect of what you and what
Parminder would call “your ilk”—a pathetic attempt at
misrepresentation of readily knowable facts in order to score
cheap political points. </div>

The readily knowable / public facts are - in response to a
request, IGC nominated two people and you did not figure in that
list. What is the 'expertise' for which you were selected, which
the people nominated could not have provided? Quite a few people
on this list raised this uncomfortable issue. Abuse is no
substitute for argument and your language suggests you have none.</font><br>

<div>In any event, this enlightening exchange underscored the
concerns Avri raised your criteria's likely abuse in the service
of a narrow ideology and the value of considering
representatives who are inclined to interact with others in a
civil and professional manner.</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
<font color="#330099">To use Avri's phrase of a 'tent view', we all
agree the current tent itself under-represents many views. Instead
of expanding that view, you are proposing using the 'narrow
ideology' of club membership to further exclude those who ask
uncomfortable questions. <br>
<br>
This can be a setback to CS and denies its important role of
accountability seeking, which has become even more important in
the post Snowden scenario.<br>
