Now that you raised questions about the legitimacies of those who
are claiming exclusion, I think you would agree that the same
questions are also due for those are included (by shutting out
others). Apart from the very extra-ordinary spectacle of the civil
society CC arrangement putting out 3 out of 3 nominees for high

Just briefly: Parminder, this is an odd observation as you had asked
the coordination group to select Louis in place of yourself (though
I'm not saying that Louis was selected for that reason). Also, do
note that half of the coordination group members are from developing
countries so the desirability of developing country representation
was certainly not overlooked (by them, or by the rest of us).<br>
<br>
As to Community Informatics, I've ceased engaging with Michael about
this. As I had long respected him, his lack of compunction about
attacking colleagues and friends over this issue with repeated
untruths saddens me greatly (hint: his group wasn't ignored or
excluded without explanation, and neither is the coordination group
the self-selected, self-dealing cabal he claims).<br>
<br>
Beyond this, Ian will soon be putting out a discussion paper from
the coordination group about its future and how representation
within the group can be broadened.<br>
