Nothing much, just the 'fairness' and 'discretion' terms appear more suited
to the purpose...
'Neutrality' is a term we need to use with caution in a context which, like
the IGC, is a quite socio-political, and advocacy oriented..... I am fine
with a person being expected to be neutral in exercise of a specific
judicial conduct, like in acting as a part of an appeals team, but not if
expected to be neutral per se (whatever it means)as a criterion of
selection.
Thanks
Parminder
