while they are producing unit cultures that in the end may become really problematic. in all kinds of ways. there is again some experiences from iraq and afghanistan with the worst cases of units is -- is behavior leading to crimes or war crimes for example. we have the business literature the civilian literature out there supporting us more and more. that does not mean so much because again we are looking at combat. that is considered unique and very special to if the business community is improved by -- and does not apply because worker is something completely different. you can always dismiss that. that is very clear though. we are seeing the same thing in diplomacy and negotiation, if you conduct gender desegregated analysis you will do it more effectively. one might assume that applies to the military affairs and intelligence gathering as well. unless it is so unique that it doesn't, right? we can look at the impact on noncombat units. that is most of the studies we have in the past. there is no serious indicators that it ruins it. if there were, we would all know it would not work. y

so it is going to citizens united way in america. so put that really also have played a much bigger role than we suspect? similarly that goes back to him the entire idea. not so much in terms of the rss maybe which leads to the civil instability, but more in terms of reasserting india's potency. my own colleagues, my peers in india at the time, everyone was bemoaning how india had followed where it should be in a sense, even on the world stage. we were not breaching any new frontiers are making progress at the u.n. security council. there were not admitted to all these nuclear clubs. so i think what the bigger area so. so i was up with an open question on that. the other thing that struck me throughout the narrative was the need for a nuance on how modi seems to appropriate a number of things. in some sense it is essential. for example, one example taught about his mongolian on. the speech he made in madison square garden about how a cause much much more to get somewhere by taxi. so when i send modi appropriated that just as a lot of

inspection or housing inspection services been an illegal unit so we don't have any enforcement i show have said that earlier. >> you'll have no why way of knowing if there's issues with the united it possessed a threat to the occupant. >> i think that was done by an architect it is fairly accurate. >> thank you so commissioners the matter is yours. >> i think of that is clear. >> it's clear i'll only make one comment in the appellants brief that was mentioned that in was principallyal an item to be the case. >> agreed. >> motion. >> i think this is appellants due process has not been joined therefore should be allowed the opportunity to experience anything that relates to the notice that she applied and received before the issuance of the permit motion to grant the appeal and revoke the permit. >> was it because the failure of the block as you stated. >> that's correct. >> okay. on that motion commissioner president lazarus commissioner honda's commissioner wilson and commissioner swig is absent that motion carries 4 to zero thank you, commissioners move on to item 9 paul white versus the department of building inspection the propert

begin of the process is there anything that suggests to the officer to stay connected to that unit in some way through this process i mean my concern anyone that has this over their head for a period of a year or two must effect their work i'm wondering if anything is done to insure they receive the proper care and follow-up. >> i've talked with the folks at the unit i can't speak to fully what they do, in fact it is really important for the buy in that the internal affairs is not involved with the unit we need to have the officers confront with the things on their side. >> i understand i mean from a i understand that the investigators california, not involved but from a privacy prospective i'd like rather not. >> their tracking inlands and milestones and things like that and following up and i have talked to them about i don't get into the specifics but talked to them about follow-up with folks and that detract that. >> commissioner melara that is our work this commission has mandated through the department we realize we've learned through oppression for example p d doesn't kick into for 90 d

and sort of going to citizens unite way as in america. and so could that really have played a much bigger role than we suspect? similarly, back to the question of the -- the idiom not so much in terms of the brand of the rss, which leads to civil instability but more in terms of re-asserting india's potency. speaking to my colleague and peers, in india at the time, everyone was bemoaning how india had fallen lower on the world stage. we were not reaching any new frontiers, not making progress at the u.n. security council. we were not being admitted to nuclear clubs. so, i think was that a bigger factor as well? so i was left with some sort of an open question on that. the other thing that struck me throughout the narrative was the -- nuance how modi seems to appropriate a number of things in some sense is it is essential. for example one example talked about is mongolia. it was almost like modi. the speech he made in madison square garden about how it cost only seven per kilometer to get to -- but costs much more to get by taxi. in a sens
