In the current circumstances, I think it is best that one of the three civil society members of the High Level Committee (HLC) should be picked up as civil society co-chair... All the three HLC members came through a civil society nomination process. This is what got done in the case of academic community co chair.. One of three HLC academic community members - Jeanette<br>
- was picked as academic community co chair.<br>
<br>
It will be good if the major civil society networks can support the letter from India civil society, and together propose the above way to go forward....<br>
<br>
Whatever we do needs to be done fast, in the next 2-3 days..<br>
<br>
Can the respective coordinators etc take up the task..<br>
<br>
thanks<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
