TNCA’s Executive Committee has nominated Srinivasan to be the association’s representative at the meet.
“That (Srinivasan’s eligibility to attend meeting) is not an issue that the COA discuss. That is a issue which the Supreme Court has to be discuss. We have not been mandated by the SC to sit and judge a person’s eligibility, non- eligibility,” Rai said.
“(The) Attendance register (of the meeting) will go to the SC. SC gets to know about all these things,” he further said when asked whether the CoA will inform the SC if Srinivasan attends the meet.

Two groups have been constituted, one headed by Amitabh Choudhary, the other group in which Rahul Johri is there - which are Strategic Working Group and Governance Model Group, in the Governance Model the best thing that has happened is the ICC accepting that the Governance Model is a living document, which means it is a dynamic document.
“This governance group, which is set up is going to make suggestions in case some changes have to be brought on board. That is a very major achievement. We have got a very good deal from the ICC,” he signed off.
