Dear Rinalia,

Why did I not immediately spell out a desirable next step? Being the first to react, I wondered if my stance would be isolated, as has happened to me more than once.

I share your position that we should press the case and request whatever seems necessary and justified.

Jean-Jacques.

JJS, 

Legality aside, there are gaps in disclosure to the community on various aspects including how the EIU fulfill certain criteria of interest to the ALAC. 

The board's letter to the ALAC contains a cut and paste description of the EIU, which we already know and which does not address the gaps. 

I am not satisfied with the board's response. It is perfectly fine for them to reject the offer of community expertise and the rationale is understandable, but the concern that led to the drafting of the statement stands. 

The question now is as follows: 
1. Do we press the case and request for disclosure based on the issues that have been pre-identified in the follow-up correspondence? 
2. Should we be cowed into not pressing the case because the action may affect how the Board reacts to future advice on other issues?

Olivier & All, 

- from a legal standpoint, the process which led to the choice of EIU seems watertight. 

- As for ALAC's offer, it is rejected without the NGPC feeling the need to provide even the semblance of an explanation: 
"The NGPC appreciates the offer made by the ALAC to provide community volunteers to serves as Panel members or advisors. However, the NGPC determined that it would not be appropriate to introduce external parties to the EIU’s evaluation process." 
In other words, there's nothing to see here, so just move on, you're holding up the traffic. 

JJ.
