Hello Bodhisattwa,

Thank you so much for your follow up and the important point you raise
about affiliate involvement.

It seems to me that there's an interest in this being a collaborative
process, which is great, because the selector would ideally be a
"representative" who knows what their regions want rather than assuming it.

During the meeting when Suyash was selected, it was suggested that there
should be a later call to get the opinions of the other selector nominees
regarding his selection, and he welcomed the idea. I think this discussion
can be extended to a larger meeting to get feedback from the SAARC
communities about their preferences for selecting the Movement Charter
Drafting Committee future members.

If there is interest in this kind of discussion (it seems to me there is),
I believe it should be organized by the end of this week or early next week
so that Suyash can be well-informed before meeting with the other
selectors. I'm happy to provide support with setting things up.

All the best,
Abbad.

Hello Abbad,

Since the meeting was called at the last moment and during the month of
festival season in India, I guess, majority of the affiliates couldn't show
up in the meeting. Nevertheless, Suyash Dwivedi is a good choice.

Now, how will the affiliates engage the selector to select their preferred
candidates? What will be the process to reflect the decision of all the
affiliates?

Regards,
Bodhisattwa
