[WSIS CS-Plenary] The Role of Engineers and WFEO in Delivering the Millennuim Development Goals）

[Robert Guerra]

here's a note about Kamel Ayadi, and his recent presentation at a event
in China - where details on his background is mentioned, as well as his
membership in the CSB.

If membership in the body is going to be mentioned at international
events, then  - i believe - we need to define a mutual understanding of
what that means (or not) and if appointments are elected, nominations,
or life appointments.

regards

Robert
