[governance] Re: Nomcom and conflict of interest

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

"Personal capacity with extensive linkages to civ soc"  doesn't really imply
organizational representation of various civ soc groups.

 

And you are still shying away from several widely accepted definitions (such
as the LSE one McTim quoted) that would make the RIRs perfectly acceptable
as CS.

 

We've had this discussion before.  No surprise there.  You're repeating your
earlier contention. No surprise there either.

I will do nothing much more than to cut-paste the UN's recent press release
on MAG's rotation to show that your description of the situation is very
one-sided. "Serves in personal' capacity is a part-corrective term over
normal UN forums/ meetings where countries and organizations get
represented, and anyone can come in on the behalf of these organizations.
It doesn't not completely take away the representative, and stakeholder
group, basis of MAG selection as is obvious from the statement below. In
fact, as pointed out in a discussion on this issue on this list a while
back, UN SG's statements have progressively underlined the representative /
stakeholder group basis of the MAG membership more and more since its
formation. This is precisely to check against the over-simplified
implication of the term 'personal capacity' which some people have tried to
draw. 

 

Thanks. Parminder
