[WSIS CS-Plenary] RE: [governance] TR: [GAID Steering] Renewal of membership in the GAID Strategy Counciland Steering Committee

Tue Aug 14 16:45:09 BST 2007

Dear All

Greetings

 Thanks for you kind attention and kind letter

It is time .No malice to any body . We must realize there are specialist who
have experiences from the both world .They are the greatest resource. They
can help . Hand picked people are not the broadest representation. it
is  limited
representation. Let us forget favorites. Let us cooperate and give every
body an  opportunity. They all have same rights  as any NGO.  All  member
NGOs make UN NGOs. Just 45 faces seen from one community every where don't
represent the whole world. My obligation was to bring to the attention of
every body. I have done my job. This is land of opportunity for every body.
Please give equal opportunity  to every body other wise you are violating
the constitution. How you are going to teach  or bring change.

There were initially approximately  55 members who  totally applied as
candidate. I was promised  to be considered next but some favorite was
picked. I was discriminated I and some others suggested  to have all of them
to work in team work. This suggestion was also rejected. I have all the
proof..  We failed to even consider all.

As a result  what happened. We  did hurt peoples feelings many of then
stopped attending many meetings. Let us create an environment to welcome
them all  back. World has many conflicts let us not make NGO conflicts. I
even received white washed notices and brought to the attention .
H.Ecorrected the situation.. It is my obligation to
bring to the attention so correct course may be taken

 I  am thankful To H.E Sarbuland Khan and other excellencies to see things
to be put in right prospective.

 Thanking you in anticipation to all . Please don't come to defend your
action . Thanks a million  to every body.

Dr Malik Khan
