Dr. Hickey's Response:

Dear Sir or Madam,
 
I did not expect this application to be successful - the reason being that the whole Codex Alimentarius is corrupt.
 
Placing me in position as a "risk assessment" experts would have given credibility but would have ensured that the process would have been unbiased. You cannot afford an unbiased process (that also considers benefits) as it would prevent your actions keeping people sick - so the pharmaceutical companies can continue to make profits.

Dear Applicant,


Recently you submitted an application to be considered for selection as an
expert scientific participant for an upcoming joint FAO/WHO workshop
entitled "Nutrient Risk Assessment: A Model for Establishing Upper Levels of
Intake for Nutrients and Related Substances."


As you may know, the qualifications for these expert scientists were
outlined in the Call for Experts as posted on the WHO and FAO websites in
November 2004.  As described in the Call for Experts, qualifications
included among other factors training as well as professional experience at
the national and/or international level in the areas of nutrition,
toxicology, dietary exposure, statistics, food technology, biochemistry,
pharmacology and other closely related disciplines. 

Moreover, the selection process was to provide for an interdisciplinary balance of expertise as well
as to take into account geographical representation and gender balance among
the participants. 


Many applications were received by the close date of 7 January 2005.  During
the recent weeks FAO and WHO have selected a total of 18 participants, men and women from a range of geographic areas.  We regret to inform you that you were not among those selected.  However, we nonetheless wish to thank you for your application and for your interest in the work. 

Further to your interest, please know that any further information about the
workshop will be posted on the FAO and WHO websites.  You may recall that the plans for the workshop have included soliciting public input for this
activity at two points in time. The first request for input occurred between
1 November 2004 and 7 January 2005. On 1 November, FAO/WHO posted a
Background Paper on their websites that outlined key issues and the
scientific challenges related to nutrient risk assessment. The Background
Paper also asked a series of questions.

All interested persons were invited to submit responses to the questions through 10 December. The responses received have been posted on the website so that all can view the input provided.  A Call for Information was also conducted from 1 November until 7 January. Both the responses to the Background Paper questions and the materials received as a result of the Call for Information will be made available to the scientific experts who will take part in the workshop.

       The second opportunity for public input will occur at the time the workshop
       report is completed. The report will be posted on the FAO/WHO websites for
       comment (approximately June 2005). Comments received will be taken into
       consideration before the report is considered for distribution by FAO/WHO.
       Thank you again for your application.
       Sincerely, NR Project Administrators
