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

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Do you speak for the academic community in declaring his selection absurd by any chance?  If not, what business is it of yours as to who is selected by an entirely different constituency in this structure, though most of its members may self identify with civil society?

Especially when as McTim has pointed out the individual in question is quite well known as a teacher and trainer on networking and related topics, in several emerging African economies?

In one earlier occasion, I remember, you had levelled unfounded allegations against Parminder on this list, and when he challenged you to substantiate, you just did not respond.
