Rough weather and the selection of the next chief

I have been faithfully following the WTO DG's selection process as evident here, here and here. Those following it will realise that it has run into some rough weather with allegations of procedural irregularities.

To understand the issues at hand the IELP blog has some interesting discussion here, herehere and here.

Interesting to see the interpretation of "shall" and "may" playing out in a totally different context here. 

What next?
