[ga] Constituency Formation & Individuals Constituency
Good morning Roberto, You have asked for thoughts, so these are my personal comments/questions... 1. Will existing constituencies be held to the same criteria as any new constituency? 2. You have spoken of "tight deadlines", but have also mentioned having a "sound document for MdR 2001". As the Review Working Group was given only a 3-week timeline to review the entirety of the DNSO, why does this Task Force require 3 months just to establish criteria? Why can't you be finished by Montevideo? Who is delaying your progress? 3. Why does this Review Task Force continue to work in secret? What happened to the concept of "open and transparent"? It does not take over a month to evaluate a web-based forum. If you are using the "virtual workroom" without difficulty, then open it up so that we may all take note of the conversations (which should be publicly archived). Perhaps you may recall this quote from Philip Sheppard: "It is understood that the structure of participation will be an improvement on the present structure of DNSO working groups!" We are stilling waiting for this full participation. When does this Task Force intend to be in compliance with the Bylaws? Allow me to point out the relevant portion: "The Corporation and its subordinate entities shall operate to the maximum extent feasible in an open and transparent manner and consistent with procedures designed to ensure fairness ." Where is the "transparency" in a website that is not viewable by the public? Please advise your fellow Task Force members that if this forum is not opened to public purview with all due speed, and that if action is not taken to allow for the full participation of the General Assembly, then a formal "reconsideration and review request" will be submitted to the Board. The NC is in violation of the ByLaws and will be held accountable. |
