[Iyrp-gcg] Cast Your Vote: Nominees for the FAO-Hosted IYRP Steering Committee

Wed Apr 9 08:06:05 MST 2025

Hello Dr. Igshaan,

Through your reply, you have not only defended the candidates but also
defended your process of selecting them. And, do not please authenticate
that whatever you are doing is ideal and perfect. Your procedure can also
be faulty and erroneous. Despite fulfilling your criteria, I said, half of
the nominated candidates are bogus. When I say this, it has a meaning. You
have not checked their credentials on the ground. Whatever they claimed on
paper, you would have just accepted without any procedure of fact-checks.
Yes, they would not be receiving any compensation, but being attached to
FAO-legitimized committee is not a small thing. This is a non-monetary
benefit. Many people have started working on pastoralism as a fashion and
cosmetic, and they jump to get noticed in the international space once they
hunt an opportunity.

Selecting the wrong candidates is not an inclusion. Please come out of this
illusion.

I do not mind whether you accept any objection or criticism or not, I have
made my voice clear and loud. It is your problem, whether you notice or
not. If you want to go wrong, please go. My duty is over when I raised the
concern. People speak diplomatically or do not speak at all, because they
benefit directly or indirectly. I am fair and fearless in my approaches and
do not have any hidden motif.

Thanks for listening.

Hasrat Arjjumend
