Excerpts from Mrs. Perry's Conclusions:
Extend Competitive Tests Through P-5 & Make Them More Widely Available. While efforts should be continued to recruit more women at all levels, an especially strong effort must be made to correct the appalling imbalance in ASG and USG positions. To the extent the career track is to be used to fill some of these "political" positions, the recent increase in the number of women holding D-1 and D-2 positions should make it possible to find qualified women to promote without sacrificing quality. If these positions are to continue to be filled externally, on a political basis, there is no doubt that there are many highly qualified women available in every field of endeavor. All else being equal, women and applicants from geographical areas that are below their desirable ranges should be given an edge in the selection process.

Excerpts from Mr. Evered's Conclusions:
Four forces in particular have encouraged the recent international emphasis on democratic governance and elections: (1) the demand by individual citizens for representative government; (2) private organizations, such as companies seeking to avoid the risks posed by unstable repressive regimes, and NGOs developing networks to promote human rights; (3) individual States providing bilateral assistance and encouragement of democratic governance; (4) the UN and other intergovernmental organizations providing electoral assistance and encouraging the development of representative government.

Excerpts from Mr. Szasz's Conclusions:
The unanticipated drastic change in the composition of the Assembly, the OMOV (one member one vote) rule... led to the practice of adopting numerous resolutions that did not in fact represent the will of a significant portion of the world community. This in turn led to the resort to consensus decision making, which in many respects constitutes a retreat to the unanimity principles of the League of Nations.

Excerpts from Conclusions of Mr . Richard Falk and Mr. Andrew Strauss:
Toward Global Parliament: In global politics, interest-group pluralism is growing, but no unifying parliament represents the public interest. Any serious attempt to challenge the democratic deficit must therefore consider creating some type of popularly elected global body.

Excerpts from Rik Panganiban's Conclusions: It is necessary to broadly address the digital divide but also expand the reach of traditional radio in conjunction with Internet radio broadcasts. Partnerships should be established online and through the use of virtual meetings between UN officials and civil society networks, as well as with selected members of civil society when particular expertise is needed.
