Mr. Waqar Ahmed:

I will use the example of head 28, corporate plan. It mentions a review but it is not an independent review of the board. Throughout the sections, it states that the board will consult, but when it comes to institutions and researchers, it “may” consult. Our concern is that the structuring of the board does not reflect researchers from all stages, disciplines and areas such as, for example, technological areas, researchers who are part time and all that. The PhD researchers are the backbone of the research that we do. That is the way one progresses to postdoctoral research and all those higher positions. Therefore, if the foundation and representation is not right, what will happen is what has happened to us so far, which is we have no way to reach out to the current research agencies. The simplest of things that could happen do not, just because we do not have representation or a way to consult with these agencies. Things have been the same for 15 or 20 years.
