I can't offer to improve regional or gender balance... but what I
would go into the MAG with a very concrete mission. There is a
pressing need for someone on the MAG who is directly involved with
the efforts to improve tangible IGF outcomes. I was responsible for
the initial trial with Idea Rating Sheets by the dynamic coalitions
last year, and was also an advisory committee member on the
experimental Deliberative Poll. I am convinced that initiatives
such as these are the future for the IGF. However, I also
experienced a lot of misunderstanding from the MAG, and efforts from
MAG members to oppose these initiatives. It would be extremely
helpful if I were on the inside, and could be more proactive in
promoting IGF innovations, and gaining MAG support for them. This
would be a continuation of my unbroken track record of promoting
reforms to the IGF dating back to its inception. <br>
