The State Property Committee has announced
the names of the members of the Representative Managing Council of the Erdenes
Tavantolgoi LLC. The SPC Chairman, D.Sugar, heads the 9-member RMC. The other
members are O.Erdenebulgan, Deputy Chief of the SPC; J.Ganbat, Chief of the
Income Department of the Budget Policy Board under the Ministry of Finance;
D.Enkhbat, Chief of the Environment and Mineral Resources Board under the
Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism. J.Batzandan, and two foreign
citizens. This follows the principle that three of the nine members should be
selected from civil society organizations.

There is still no word on who will be chosen Executive Director. There is also
disappointment that the RMC has been set up without citizens’ participation.
There is doubt whether J.Batzandan can really be called non-political and a
representative of the civil movement.
