Flash : Apply for Central Information Commissioners Post: DoPT Circular
31 October 2011
DoPT has issued a circular requesting applications for Central Information Commissioners appointment :
Quote
"Persons fulfilling the criteria for appointment as Information Commissioner and interested for appointment to the post may send their particulars in the enclosed proforma by post to Under Secretary (IR), Department of Personnel and Training, North Block, New Delhi or through e-mail to usrti...@nic.in by November 18, 2011. Persons who are serving under the State/Central Government or any other organization, may send their particulars through proper channel."

Full text of the circular can be read on LINK below :

My take :
Government needs to be congratulated for making process of selection of Information Commissioner open to public.
This has been long standing demand of RTI Activists.
The big question is ... will the entire process of selection become transparent?
I recommend those who desire to apply for the post to send their application by Speed Post in addition to sending it by email. The movement of Speed Post letter can be tracked on Dept of Posts website.
Remember on 10 Dec 2010, DoPT had issued a circular seeking public comments on proposed amendment to RTI
Rules by email...
After sending my comments I had followed it with an RTI seeking file details on which public views were being processed and had asked for attested hard copy of my comments sent by email. DoPT had not diariesd public comments in any file and could not show me the so called folder in which public comments placed as claimed by CPIO (DoPT).
When ever I checked with DoPT CPIO, I was told the said folder containing Public Comments "NOT TRACEBLE". The file on which the amendment to RTI rules was delibrated in DoPT had only NAC's comments.
Media story on my RTI can be read on the link below.

Freinds ,
Mere posting messages in Web may not be the creitieria fopr Emminince . However i would like to draw attention of all , to probe WHY Dopt has not put up all the procedure to Scrutinise and filter down people .one reason being as on date Excepting ICSG none other was weighted Down for thier RTI Contributions
The emminence in thier eyes is totally a differnt one . but I would like to see all IC Aspirants Standing in a "Q" and the Three Most emminent Persons Conducting VIVA for them as seen when Children are selected for INDIAN IDOL or DANCE INDIA DANCE ( Why ofcourse i am very Satarical and i propose to write a fresh version of the Animal Farm)
Is it Not totally absurd & silly and Infact Stinking asking People to Apply rather than Scout and select . The People who Drafted Those Sections in RTI ACT 2005 Must be Puking .
We Donot know and are aware But I defiently Know of This fact " MY Neighbour is an MP and is Close to One of the Persons who Certainly has to be the Member of the selection committee , Only yesterday I saw a Known President of an NGO waiting at this MPs House and i very well Known he only Comes to Bangalore on Friday night and even his high profile wife is out of station . This person When asked Told me that he wants to pull Strings Through this MP Because the Member on CIC Selection committee Defiently visits MP House for an important festival & Pooja
So We all advertise that we will HELP in these LOGISTICS ??? N vikramsimha , KRIA Koota , #12 Sumeru Sir M N Krishna Rao Road , Basvangudi < Bangalore 560004. --- On Sat, 5/11/11, C K Jam <rtiw...@yahoo.com> wrote: |

The technical name for neem translates as "the free tree of India".
Its (bitter and indigestible) fruit is the source for neem oil.
Neem Oil has very well documented powerful antiseptic, astringent and
healing properties.
