<div id="yiv2126211491"><br>Katim,<br><br>Your posting regarding composition of the ASWG shows at least one thing : we should all communicate better and also strive to stick to facts! For if we were all at the same Level of information, if we revisited the way the Core group was formed in Prague no one Will dare say it was a self elected Group!! And there was one out of the 2 African Reps currently on the Board at that same meeting which appointed the Initial Group of 4!<br>
<br>It is therefore frustrating to hear that the sélection of membres of the ASWG has Become a vexing issue! But as you rightly pût it, the work has started and we should all feel concerned by the result!!<br><br>In fact, the current constitution of the Group responds to all your criterias ! Here it goes:<br>
