<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The representatives
were chosen from a field of 33 applications for HLC and 24 applications for EMC,
drawn from a widely disseminated call for nominations across various civil
society networks, including IGC, Best Bits, APC, NCSG, Diplo, and associated
civil society networks , and including nominations from other CS individuals as
well. No nominations were denied full consideration.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The full list of
candidates was posted on the main civil society lists some time ago (let me know
if you need a copy). We thank all the volunteers who put their names forward –
this was an incredibly talented field and making decisions on final candidates
was subsequently a significant challenge.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The selections were
made by a Nomcom consisting of Virginia Paque (Diplo Foundation), Jeremy Malcolm
(Best Bits), Chat Garcia Ramilo (APC) and Robin Gross (NCSG). Ian Peter was an
independent non voting Chair.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">We realise that some
aspects of these selections will be 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.</SPAN></P>
