<div dir="ltr"><div><div> I support Avri and Adam's suggestion that we see if there
 is consensus to support the re-nomination of those we  (the IGC) endorsed and who were
 chosen for the MAG in 2012. However, I do think we should limit the 
endorsement to those who re-nominate themselves, request the 
endorsement, and give a one-paragraph summary of their current 
intentions for the IGF process.<br><br>This is a very important subject to address, and there is little time for the process. The IGC endorsement of MAG nominees is, in my opinion, a very important function of the IGC, which should have strong implications for IG and for the IGF if we choose well. In so short a time, I think it will be impossible to develop a perfect system, and we will be lucky to find one that is 'good enough'. <br>

<br></div>Diplo is also seeking qualified MAG nominees and community consensus in an effort to encourage more widespread input into the MAG nomination process. Our announcement and invitation is pasted below. We encourage IGC and other nominees to join this process as well.<br>
