Congrats and best wishes to all selected nominees.<br>
<br>
<font face="Verdana">I am especially happy to see Louis Pouzin in
the HLC. <br>
<br>
Whereas there are other good nominees as well, it is disappointing
that a civil society slate is so dis-balanced between developed
and developing country participation, 4 to 1. Civil processes used
to be meticulous in this regard and would rather err on the side
of more developing country nominees..<br>
<br>
A connected point, I do not think that the proposed criterion of
having a work background in, and linkages to, interests/ issues
related to marginalised groups got applied. I am happy to hear
committee chair's comment in this regard. Was this criterion
applied, and if so, how. Thanks. <br>
<br>
This term 'marginalised groups' seems to have become kind of
esoteric in this space, which is rather problematic. Isnt civil
society supposed to be mostly about such issues and interests. <br>

Geography in particular was a challenge in finalising
our HLC candidates – but we did note very strong
support from a number of prominent third world centred
organisations and individuals for Louis Pouzin, and
trust that the perspectives and advocacy he will bring
to the discussions will ensure that important issues
