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.
