controversial. We have attempted to find a balance (among the candidates who
best fit our criteria for selection) between such factors as gender, geography,
advocacy, knowledge, expertise, and constituency. 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 of concern to many members of
civil society are not neglected.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
