    Dear all<br>
    <br>
    Could I suggest that all the names of anyone going up for the MAG
    from both current slates (i.e. run by the IGC and being collated
    through Best Bits) be posted so that we can inform other networks of
    who is standing. <br>
    <br>
    Whether they are looking to stand as an IGC nominee or Best Bits
    nominee can be noted. <br>
    <br>
    Ongoing, and important discussions about the Best Bits governance
    structure need to continue, and as a member of the interim BB
    Steering as well as co-Chair of the IRP Coalition I support the need
    for clarity here too. But right at this moment as the list and
    candidates form, it would be good for anyone else considering
    standing for the MAG to know who is currently doing so. If a person
    is standing in two places could they nominate which one they are
    opting for too to save space and time?<br>
    <br>
    Also, I join those affirmations of the work done by all standing MAG
    members, in this case from civil society, who are continuing. Thank
    you all for the hard and often unrewarded and unrelenting work on
    this group. <br>
    <br>
