World Bank President Election Site
I stumbled across this webiste this morning, which shows the growing influence of Civil Society in questions of international development politics. It's about the election process & candidates for the position of the World Bank President (because James Wolfensohn has definitively announced he is going by June 2005).
If Civil Society may not yet have sufficient power to influence the decision itself, it can certainly contribute to making the process more transparent!

Who do you think will be the next President and in what direction will he guide the Bank? Wolfensohn went towards the "Knowledge Bank"... Will the next President have the wisdom to go towards a "Wealth Facilitator's Bank"?

It remains to be seen if any thing will change in transparency... These things tend to change at a particularly slow pace!
