Marc was in, we probably couldn’t include Milton – 2 US males would not be a
good decision politically. Milton also probably fits as an academic – but as he
is likely to be running the process to select academic candidates, he may not be
able to include himself. Maybe we should seek clarification here?</SPAN></P>

of our first 3 would be considered to be a strong advocate for third world
issues. If we thought it was important to include someone with this perspective,
the choices would be Louis Pouzin or Parminder Singh. Parminder has indicated he
would step down in favour of Louis Pouzin, and we may need to consider that
Parminder is a member of the CI (Community Informatics) Nomcom also considering
candidates for these very same positions (but with about 6 candidates and very
little chance of their nominees being accepted) . That may be perceived as a
conflict of interest, or we could ignore it. But some people have already
suggested to me informally that Parminder has a conflict of interest here.

to just note re Stephanie Perrin – if Marc Rotenberg was in we might consider we
have privacy issues well covered; but if in our final slate we wanted to include
Milton and leave Marc out to not have too many male US citizens Stephanie is an
option to cover privacy. </SPAN></P>
