<br>
congratulations to the selected CS members, however I am very surprised to see two CS reps from Asia (Joy & Parminder) but nobody from Europe (the proposal from the focul point was Bill). Any explanation for this unbalanced selection?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Betreff: [governance] Fwd: Final composition of the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Composition of the Working Group. All the best to those who have been<br>
selected. Note that meetings are likely to be open for observers<br>
<br>
Anriette<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear members of the CSTD and other colleagues,<br>
<br>
As a follow up to my e-mail and Note on Composition and Guidelines for the<br>
CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, which I distributed on 13<br>
February 2013, I am pleased to inform you of the final composition of the<br>
Working Group in the attached Note. I also am happy to report that Mr.<br>
Peter Major, Vice-Chair of the CSTD from Hungary, has agreed to serve as<br>
Chair of the Working Group.<br>
<br>
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the designated focal<br>
points for each regional and stakeholder group, for their efforts in<br>
facilitating consultations on their respective representatives, which was<br>
very useful for me in establishing the Working Group, keeping in mind<br>
paragraph 21 of the General Assembly resolution 67/195.<br>
<br>
There were many expressions of interest from people with substantial<br>
relevant expertise, which made selecting the representatives a challenging<br>
exercise. It was not possible to include all requests for membership in<br>
the Working Group.<br>
<br>
The Rules of Procedure of the ECOSOC and its Functional Commissions shall<br>
govern the work of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation. Discussions<br>
should be open and transparent and respect all proposals and opinions. The<br>
report of the Working Group will be adopted by consensus.<br>
<br>
I intend to have the meetings of the Working Group be open for observers,<br>
including Member States regardless of whether or not they are members of<br>
the CSTD, and representatives of business, civil society, technical and<br>
academic communities as well as other international and intergovernmental<br>
organizations. Observer privileges will be in accordance with the Rules of<br>
Procedure of the ECOSOC and its Functional Commissions.<br>
<br>
Now that the Working Group membership and chairmanship have been<br>
determined, Mr. Peter Major will follow up shortly regarding preparations<br>
for the first meeting of the Working Group.<br>
<br>
Sincerely yours,<br>
<br>
<br>
Miguel Palomino de la Gala<br>
Chairman, the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
