Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 12:08:23 PMSo this is someone who's an expert in foreign donations?

In relative terms, based on time spent in role, yes a longterm BHAID Administrator would become an expert. For myself, as someone involved in human rights volunteering which has included work in several countries yes when I served as BHAID Administrator I was an expert.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 12:08:23 PMWe can just create that job.  I'm happy to do that.

Great! I will withdraw when we post the job.

I'd just like to bump this again: do you have any interest in journalism -- something you thought might be fun, but were afraid to try?  This is the opportunity for you!

So this is someone who's an expert in foreign donations?  Okay, but there's no need to make a bill to clutter up the law.  We can just create that job.  I'm happy to do that.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 11:45:23 AMI guess I don't know what the BHAID permsec would do, then?  They're not choosing where to donate or collecting the money or disbursing the money.

I think they would continue to do whatever the non-Civil Service Administrator does currently. The difference is that it would be a continuing position between governments and that the BHAID would be within the Civil Service rather than formally under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What does the BHAID admin do besides decide where to donate?

I am not aware of an instance where the BHAID Administrator has ever decided to who the donations go to. They have been someone who has made suggestions but the final decision has rested with the Government. The Administrator is an expert who advises but does not make the final decision which is why I thought this would be perfect for the Civil Service. Other aspects of the position (such as organizing general donation efforts, raising awareness of the organization itself have largely been dormant but would be better achieved by a longstanding permanent secretary IMO).
