possible selection criteria of
different types of people:
--- commitment to establish a BMC -
NGO relationship, and NGO-NGO relationships. This, in my
opinion, is the critical factor.
--- people with an overview of the
functional area e.g. cleanliness.
--- people who are not wedded to one
particular solution or their way
--- people who are open to other
ideas for discussion on a rational basis
--- people with a long and
successful history of working with BMC in that functional area.
--- people with an ability to have
an overview of how BMC works and can work.
--- people who have an ability
to negotiate i.e. smooth out differences between people
--- one person who would be able to
put in substantial time - almost full-time - to co-ordinate with
everyone involved.
And, of course, all of these people
have to be willing and able to put in whatever time is required.
