We understand that, in finalising stakeholder representatives, >>> you wish to ensure that you achieve the best possible gender and geographic >>> balance across stakeholder groups. Your process for doing this on this and >>> other occasions has been to make final selections yourselves without >>> further consultation with stakeholder groups. This can sometimes be >>> problematic, as you cannot possibly be aware of the ramifications of some >>> such choices within stakeholder groups. >>> >>> The way other organisations have handled this is to arrange a >>> simultaneous phone hookup with representatives of stakeholder groups to >>> discuss such final balance issues.
