It is amazing how often the answer to a question can be right in front of you.

In this case I am referring to the decision about who should run the local organizing committee for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games (TOCOG).

This is not the job for a retired politician, bureaucrat, or a person who wants to sit back and delegate everything. This is a position which requires a hands-on approach from somebody who has been there before and knows how to connect with people of different cultures.
