1. (C) UN SYG Ban phoned Amb Khalilzad August 28 to report
that he had received agrement from GOS President Bashir to
appoint Ashraf Qazi as SRSG for the UN Mission in Sudan
(UNMIS). This decision frees Ban to announce the appointment
of Staffan di Mistura as SRSG for the UN Assistance Mission
in Iraq (UNAMI),replacing Qazi. Ban said he expected to
make the public annoucement of these two appointments on
August 29.


2. (C) UN Under Secretary-General for Political Affairs Lynn
Pascoe informed Amb Wolff August 24 that the UN will keep
deputy SRSG for political affairs Michael Schulenburg in
place in Iraq. Pascoe also confirmed the appointment of New
Zealand national David Shearer to fill the vacant slot of
deputy SRSG for humanitarian, reconstruction and development
affairs. Shearer had formerly served as the highly regarded
head of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA) in Jerusalem. Pascoe said that the UN will
consult with di Mistura on the U.S. proposal to appoint a
third deputy SRSG for regional affairs.
