For instance, there was a deadline for nomination, which has been overlooked in many cases and the mention of the same is revoked from the websites. This is not an important issue at all, but if extension of deadline was necessary, (even I have sent nominations after the deadline), a formal communication could be issued for the benefit of all the parties. Likewise, the representation of different stakeholders is not apparent and forthcoming. Nevertheless, UN-GAID will contribute a lot in meeting the goals of MDGs through ICTs and we can contribute to this collectively. Atanu Garai1728_2.html (attatchment)(tag is disabled)
