My apologies, I missed this email and assumed my name was still on
this list. SFLC.in endorses all these candidates and support
Anja's recommendation of adding William Drake to it. Thanks!<br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are those who have been nominated for election or
re-election to the MAG by Best Bits participants. This list, if
agreed, would supplement (and may even be incorporated into,
subject to their approval) the lists that other civil society
groups such as the IGC put forward. But if a full or partial
joint nomination can't be accomplished, we will still try to
organise a joint letter to the UN Secretariat listing the
distinct slates of nominees and the different processes that
were used to put them together.</div>
<ol>
<li>Matthew Shears - Centre for Democracy and Technology (male,
USA)</li>
<li>Anriette Esterhuysen - APC [renewal] (female, South Africa)<br>
</li>
<div class="im">
<li>Nnenna Nwakanma - World Wide Web Foundation (female,
Nigeria)</li>
</div>
<li>Bertrand de la Chapelle - Internet & Jurisdiction
Project (male, Europe)</li>
<li>Izumi Aizu [renewal] - Tama University, Institute for
HyperNetwork Society (male, Japan)</li>
<li>Ana Perdigao - various, see below (female, Europe)</li>
</ol>
<div>The steering committee did not exclude anyone whose
nomination we received, however in terms of the criteria that
were posted earlier, we draw attention to the fact that Ana
Perdigao is a "new face" to most of us, so we cannot verify how
closely she complies with them, notably being "active civil
society participants". She has been invited to post to this
list to introduce herself and to clarify this and any other
aspects. Meanwhile some biographical information that she sent
is below.[0]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Most of the other candidates are well known to many of us,
but we invite them also to send biographies to the list if they
haven't already done so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>With the above proviso, we are asking this list to endorse
the above as candidates for the MAG - not to the exclusion of
others, but at least to fill in some gaps in other lists, and
in order to possibly be incorporated into the IGC's list
(subject to their approval), this endorsement would have to be
made by midnight 21 November GMT/UTC.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Due to shortness of remaining time this will have to be an
"opt out" process, so if you would prefer that we NOT forward
any of the above candidate names, please let us know either by
posting to the list or to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:steering@lists.bestbits.net">steering@lists.bestbits.net</a>.
In case we need to extend the process, then we do have about 10
more days before the nominations have to be forwarded to the IGC
Secretariat, but we would not be able to join forces with the
IGC if our process goes beyond midnight 21 November GMT/UTC.</div>
