Thanks, Veni. That's one idea for criteria. But, for NCUC it may not be so simple. Unless someone confirmed with you, we don't know the total number for sure. We don't (as you indicate) know the CS portion. We may not feel a need to forward 10 recommendations, and even if we do, following a strict formula based on geography may not be what we choose to do (e.g., we may choose to focus on identifying people we believe will maximize effectiveness rather than maximizing geographic representativeness). --MM >>> veni markovski <[log in to unmask]> 07/28/04 02:53PM >>> Let's say the WG will consist of 20 people. 10 - from government (if CS is lucky and gets 50:50) 10 - from non-government There are 5 regions, that meanst 2 people from every region. 1 - from developed countries, 1 - from developing. best, veni
