<br>
As the "fill-in" chair of last year's MAG nomcom, I was quite
disappointed to learn that ours was just one of the lists from civil
society that was submitted to the MAG. I would not advocate for the
creation of an official list by a MAG designated body (a channel for
self nominations by outsiders is helpful), but submissions from a
scattering of civil society sources puts too much power in the hands
of MAG central to pick and choose. A submission by a civil society
"joint- board" seems worth considering.<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy New year to you all. I hope you had a
restful holiday season. It was a pleasure working with
you all in 2012 and look forward to continuing to do
so in 2013.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please find below a message from
Under-Secretary-General Mr. Wu Hongbo concerning the
MAG renewal. It is posted on the IGF website and I
would be grateful if you could distribute it among
your respective stakeholder groups.</div>

</div>
<div>The Internet Governance Forum's
Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) has been
instrumental in planning the programme of the
annual IGF meetings.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would like to express our gratitude to all
past and present members of MAG who have donated
their time, effort and valuable guidance in
ensuring the smooth running of the IGF.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On behalf of the United Nations
Secretary-General, the Department of Economic and
Social Affairs (DESA) requests nominations from
all stakeholder groups, according to the
established principles and practices of MAG on the
rotation and selection of its members.
Governments, the private sector, civil society,
and technical communities should submit names of
candidates from developed and developing countries
as well as from economies in transition.
Successful nominees will become part of MAG for a
period of one year and will contribute to the
multi-stakeholder consultation process, bringing
the perspectives of their respective groups on
Internet governance. Group nominees should be
members who have actively participated in IGF
meetings and activities in the past. As in
previous years, stakeholder groups can resubmit
the names of current MAG members for re-election
and are expected to publicize the selection and
nomination process.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please submit the names of nominees to the IGF
Secretariat by <b>20 January 2013</b> via email:<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:magrenewal2012@intgovforum.org">magrenewal2013@intgovforum.org</a>,
using the attached submission template. The aim is
to rotate one third of MAG members.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Selection and Operation Principles:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(i) MAG members are selected to achieve a
balance among all stakeholder groups, while
retaining regional and gender representation,
according to established procedures;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(ii) All MAG members serve in their personal
capacity but are expected to have extensive
linkages with their respective stakeholder groups;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(iii) The main task of MAG is to provide advice
on the programme and main themes of the next
meeting of the IGF;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(iv) MAG members are expected to attend two to
three MAG meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, in
addition to the annual IGF meeting. They should
participate actively in the preparatory process
throughout the year, through engagement in the
online multilateral dialogue among MAG members;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(v) MAG meetings are open to Intergovernmental
organizations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you and I look forward to the continued
success of the Internet Governance Forum.</div>
