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. <br><br>Selecting the wrong candidates is not an inclusion. Please come out of this illusion. <br><br>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. <br><br>Thanks for listening.<br><br>Hasrat Arjjumend</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 9 Apr 2025 at 20:00, Igshaan Samuels <<a href="mailto:isamuels@uwc.ac.za">isamuels@uwc.ac.za</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear Dr Arjjumend<div><br></div><div>I hope you are doing well. </div><div><br></div><div>It is unfortunate that you feel this way about the candidates, but the candidates all met the criteria we set.
