[WSIS CS-Plenary] RV: Fellowships criteria

Thank you Adam, but my main question is not only about serios indicators and
reasonable independent measure, but also serios process of selección and
fellowships criteria.  Argentina was elegible in february (prepcom 2) and in
September (prepcom 3). Why it's been excluded for the wsis? 
What happened? Which is the reason of this change of situation of my
country?

Hope we'll find a solutions and a serios answer.

Beatriz,

I think it would help if there were some reasonable independent 
measure of what is a transitional economy or a country in 
development. All I can think of is the UNDP Human Development 
Indicators.  And they may not take Argentina's recent economic 
problems into account, but the economy crashed at the end of 2001 (?)

Anyway, I think they answer the question from the Singaporean student.

See: <http://www.undp.org/hdr2003/indicator/index_indicators.html>
<http://www.undp.org/hdr2003/indicator/indic_7_2_2.html>
<http://www.undp.org/hdr2003/indicator/indic_4_2_2.html>

Doesn't very help much as it's what the donor uses as a measure that counts.

Thanks,

Adam
