During the recent crisis over the appointment of Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat s new Secretary General (former Cook Islands Prime Minister Henry Puna), much public debate occurred over the supposed gentlemen s agreement to share the leadership between Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia. There was little debate about the great regional challenges that actually face and defined Forum s leadership. Once upon a time, the stopping of French nuclear tests in the Pacific, was such an issue that united all Pacific countries. Economic integration in the Pacific via the Pacific Island Countries Trade Agreement (PICTA) and the Pacific Agreement of Closer Economic Relations (PACER) then took center stage.  But this issue has dwindled away as fairly empty agreements led by Australia and NZ were signed by all the countries, except the two largest (PNG and Fiji) who really needed to be part of the agreement to make it meaningful.
