though the episode,as described, indicates a remarkable lack of media relations competence. Such a major issues as "what is the group named", one would think, should not be the subject of such needless confusion.
I couldn't agree more. It is my sincere hope that the NMI will take this under advisement and attempt to coordinate the release of information from its proceedings in the future.
Adding Chinese representation to the mix doesn't magically provide an answer to that question.
In the Council's defense, the selection of Jack Ma was not a deliberate attempt at selecting a Chinese Co-Chair, but one that occurred naturally by some random selection. This brings me to the issues I have. The Co-Chair selection criteria leaves a lot to be desired. I sure hope there will be sanity in the future. I would hate to learn that at some arbitrary time, the Council convened and at that the said meeting, it chose 4 Co-Chairs instead......And this is very likely if no rules are adopted on such trivial matters as selection of a chair.
