btw - my messages to the NCUC are being rejected, so hopefully you will
forward this to them, too.

&gt;Thanks, Veni. That's one idea for criteria.
&gt;But, for NCUC it may not be so simple.

Sure. The problem if how to fit within the narrow frame of the WG.

&gt;Unless someone confirmed with you, we don't know
&gt;the total number for sure. We don't

No, we don't.
But if it's 30 (which I doubt), then it will be 20 for governments, 10 -
for CS. Logic is simple: it's a WG to the Secretary-General, proposed by
the governmental WG in WSIS - Geneva (I was part of this group then).

&gt;(as you indicate) know the CS portion. We may not
&gt;feel a need to forward 10 recommendations, and
&gt;even if we do, following a strict formula based on
&gt;geography may not be what we choose to do
&gt;(e.g., we may choose to focus on identifying people
&gt;we believe will maximize effectiveness rather than
&gt;maximizing geographic representativeness).

We don't have much of a choice, I believe. The UN usually is very strict in
covering geographic areas. In anycase, it will be wise to suggest at least
10 names - 5 regions, 1 name from South, 1 - from North.

best,
veni
