What timetable and procedures does the UNSGselection campaign advocate?
A set timetable accompanied by systematic reporting, as applied by other international organizations, should be established to provide a more structured, transparent and accountable framework for the selection process. The selection process should follow a formal, publicized timetable with deadlines for nominations, shortlists and final selection, as well as an appropriate allotment of time for each phase. It should also include systematic reporting at each phase in the process, to be carried out by facilitators appointed by the Security Council. Procedures that enhance the transparency of the selection process should be established to facilitate the dissemination of basic information necessary for an adequate assessment of candidates by all relevant parties.
