</span>The requirements were sent around to all of the lists when we called for<br>
nominations (see thread "Call for nominations for civil society<br>
representatives for the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory group (MAG)" on 18<br>

the deliberations about the respective merits of individual candidates<br>
to public review.<br>
