<div class="gmail_extra">First of all, congratulations to all IGC members that have been selected, through IGC Nomcom or by other means. I am also very comfortable a happy with the choice.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks, Mike, for bringing up the experience of the open government partnership to our attention. It will be definitely interesting to follow this experience of governmental/non-governmental cooperation more closely. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Regarding this very important topic of keeping the flow of information between MAG and IGC, I believe that both sides have shared responsibility to make it happen. On the IGC side, it is important to provide timely feedback when MAG members send information and ask the views of IGC members about a given topic. On some occasions, I think that we failed to provide useful feedback in a timely manner. So, a commitment from us to follow the list/Skype/Twitter, at least during OC and MAG meetings is key, in my opinion.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">On the other hand, MAG representatives do need to find more efficient ways to report back. Share tasks/topics among them is an option. Taking into account the limitations like Chatam house Rules, the use of Skype and Twitter should also be consider. It is a thin line between disclosing enough/too much, but we should strive to find it. Also, sometimes we need to push the boundaries a bit and try to make little steps towards improving communication and transparency. The experience with CSTD WG (that began as a more closed experiment than MAG) proved it is possible to do it in a positive and respectful manner.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Moving beyond communication between MAG and IGC members, I think that CS should also try to communicate better its views with the outside world. This is part of outreach, as much as is part of the political process of dispute of views in Internet governance. There are too few sources of information about IG that have become references online. Of course, each CS organization has its own medium of communication, but I think it would not hurt to develop a more coordinated approach, cross-references, or maybe a shared online space, that could even be in IGC website.</div>

</div>Blogging also has the problem that you might be revealing your thoughts<br>
to people outside of your tight stakeholder group.<br>
<br>
But anyone without the time to "report back" (in whatever form we deem<br>
appropriate) doesn't seem to me to be qualified to be one of the<br>
members.<br>
<div class="im"> "All Advisory Group members serve in their personal capacity,<br>
but are expected to have extensive linkages with their<br>
respective stakeholder groups."<br>
<br>
</div>'Extensive' is a very strong word.<br>
