[gnso-igo-ingo] RE: Qualification Criteria - Report

["Claudia MACMASTER TAMARIT" <MACMASTER@xxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Agreeing with the importance of avoiding misrepresentation, redundancy, or 
undue emphasis, I suggest we pare back to the list itself (see below).  We can 
continue to discuss, and comment as a Group, as well as refer to the worksheet.

Finally, just for clarity (and noting the inaccurate and reductive 
characterization of our position), please allow me to restate our position that 
any qualification criteria should be objective and non-discriminatory.  
Tailoring the criteria to fit one or two organizations is discriminatory, and 
an effort we will reject as unacceptable.  We would not support any resulting 
recommendation that is made on this discriminatory basis.

Best,
Claudia
