Hi
 
congratulations to the selected CS members, however I am very surprised to see two CS reps from Asia (Joy & Parminder) but nobody from Europe (the proposal from the focul point was Bill). Any explanation for this unbalanced selection?
 
Thanks
 
wolfgang

Betreff: [governance] Fwd: Final composition of the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation




Composition of the Working Group. All the best to those who have been
selected. Note that meetings are likely to be open for observers

Anriette


Dear members of the CSTD and other colleagues,

As a follow up to my e-mail and Note on Composition and Guidelines for the
CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, which I distributed on 13
February 2013, I am pleased to inform you of the final composition of the
Working Group in the attached Note. I also am happy to report that Mr.
Peter Major, Vice-Chair of the CSTD from Hungary, has agreed to serve as
Chair of the Working Group.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the designated focal
points for each regional and stakeholder group, for their efforts in
facilitating consultations on their respective representatives, which was
very useful for me in establishing the Working Group, keeping in mind
paragraph 21 of the General Assembly resolution 67/195.

There were many expressions of interest from people with substantial
relevant expertise, which made selecting the representatives a challenging
exercise. It was not possible to include all requests for membership in
the Working Group.

The Rules of Procedure of the ECOSOC and its Functional Commissions shall
govern the work of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation. Discussions
should be open and transparent and respect all proposals and opinions. The
report of the Working Group will be adopted by consensus.

I intend to have the meetings of the Working Group be open for observers,
including Member States regardless of whether or not they are members of
the CSTD, and representatives of business, civil society, technical and
academic communities as well as other international and intergovernmental
organizations. Observer privileges will be in accordance with the Rules of
Procedure of the ECOSOC and its Functional Commissions.

Now that the Working Group membership and chairmanship have been
determined, Mr. Peter Major will follow up shortly regarding preparations
for the first meeting of the Working Group.

Sincerely yours,


Miguel Palomino de la Gala
Chairman, the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development
