SG to the Inter Virgin Islands Conference and its successor Inter Virgin Islands Council. This was a functional cooperation body between the British and U.S. Virgin Islands. I served as advisor to the Anguilla Constitutional and Electoral Reform Committee which was working on constitutional change in the last decade, This is still underway as the territory continues to seek full self-government. I think we spoke earlier of the Offshore Governors' Forum comprised of the five territories affiliated with the U.S., and was mainly a political body to influence U.S. policy on the dependencies.I also helped out a few years ago in the public education campaign in the Cayman Islands in the run-up to its referendum on the new constitution. There have been several self-governance assessments in which I was involved in the Caribbean and Pacific, and a few other things. Recently, I served as the international advisor to the U.S. Virgin Islands Constitutional Convention. CAR So, from your broad perspective, having worked with many of these territories directly, and having served in various capacities for the U.N., what would you propose to jump-start the decolonization process? CGC Well, I would say that there are some recent developments which are quite encouraging. First of all, the new Chairman of the Decolonization Committee, the Ambassador of Ecuador, has shown great interest and commitment in dealing with the issue of implementation. In my view, this is key to solving the contemporary decolonization dilemma. CAR Any specific recommendations for moving the process forward? CGC
