go on. At the same time, we don't want to over-bureaucratize the

<DIV>Dear all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate Milton's and Adam's comments. It is indeed a form of civic
duty and I also volunteer for the NomCom, although I am interested in the MAG.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Avri's comment in a prliminary mail was as usual right on spot : "even
people who might be willing to serve on the MAG should volunteer for the
nomcom pool and trust that fate, or chance, will put you in the job you can do
the most good in". </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Without making it a compulsory rule, it is probaly something that should
be encouraged : anybody contemplating participating in the MAG should ideally
previously volunteer for the NomCom. Not doing so would only mean they are
more eager to get the - supposedly - prestigious status rather than the more
humble - and somewhat likely to be under fire - one. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best</DIV>

think this depends on whether or not all those who would like to get
<BR>>nominated are nonetheless willing to volunteer for nomcom. I am
willing <BR>>to volunteer. And I will send a message to the german WSIS
list asking<BR>>all the silent subscribers to the IG caucus list to
volunteer too. If<BR>>others do the same, we should have no problem at
all to get 25 and more. <BR><BR>I will volunteer for the nomcom as well.
If not selected for the Nomcom via random means, I would like to be a
North American representative on the MAG, but it is I think serious
participants in the caucus to take the obligation for the caucus to
function seriously enough to get their priorities straight.
