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-dopt@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.

Good Luck to candidates.
