Hello JC: I was just going on the basis of Aires' post.
> 2: where and when this post was advertised? > 3: if there was an interview? Aires: "Her selection was a foregone conclusion and that mere formality by the Selection committee . . ." There appears to have been a selection - implying other candidates - and then a selection committee. > 4: if a fairly good knowledge of Goa and Goans was part of the required > knowledge base? > 5: if any Goans had applied? > 6: why they were not selected? I think that is best asked of the selection committee. I assume they know. > 7: what specific part of her CV made her the best candidate? I did not say this. I just asked if Goa should not be selecting the best from all of India for senior positions. > 8: if this is the process of appointments in other places in which you > have lived and worked? > 9: would a non-French speaking person like me would be appointed > Information Commissioner in Quebec? Some government appointments are "patronage" appointments. We have many cases of these type of appointments in Canada and Britain. > 10: is Konkani the official language of Goa? Is she fluent in Konkani? Yes Konkani is. But the Official Languages Act also says "Marathi shall be used for all or any of the official purposes." > 11: Is Goa already part of Maharashtra? > 12: WHAT ? ? ! Not waiting for MOPA? ?????
