[gnso-review-dt] GNSO Review Updates and Request for Input

Wed Sep 24 16:52:51 UTC 2014

Dear All,
Interviews
Westlake team would appreciate your recommendations of individuals for them to speak to in order to accomplish the following objectives.  Please submit your suggestions by responding to this email by EOB Monday 29 September.

-   Gain understanding of how the Working Group model is working, as compared to prior model.

-   Gain perspectives from groups that are typically under-represented (geography, etc.).

-   Gain perspectives from individuals that are relative "newcomers".

-   Gain insights on how previous review's recommendations have been operationalized.

The team is assembling a list of potential interview candidates from 360 Assessment responders as well as other research, to ensure that they collect representative, diverse and fulsome information within the limited time available.  Please note that Westlake has finite resources for the interviews,  and not every suggested individual may end up being interviewed.  Westlake will provide a list of interviewees and the reason for their selection, as part of their report.
