Peter van Rooijen (

The selection of all three people was made by a committee made up of three representatives of each of the three board delegations. Current board members and alternates were not members of the selection committee. Eight applications were received for the Communities of People Living with the Diseases position; fifteen for the Developing Country NGO position; and eight for the Developed Country NGO position.
