<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi<div><br></div><div>Thanks for this, Thomas. In light of the complexities of the discussions here around MAG rotation and names, and in the hope of reducing unnecessary cycles, I decided to make a local call to the IGF secretariat and ask for clarification of what DESA is looking for. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Bear in mind they are only looking to rotate out 1/3rd of the MAG, e.g. long-serving (and I would guess, comparatively inactive) members. Not the people selected less than a year ago. And that CS is just one of four SG groups among which this 1/3rd would be divided. And that the IGC cannot claim to be the sole representative of global civil society.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Put all that together, and the recommendation was: come up with like five new names that are not already on the MAG. Names on a smaller list have a higher probability of being viewed as strongly supported and eventually picked than names on a big long list. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The noncom's task will be easier if you skip adding steps DESA didn't ask for like re-certifying extant members, and work off a shorter list with new names…</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div>

IGC List Members,<br>
<br>
The below 36 people have been self nominated or were nominated by
another IGC member to be on the 2013 MAG (the Internet Governance
Forum's Multistakeholder Advisory Group). <br>
<br>
It's a far larger list than any previous one with which I am
familiar. And the Nominating Committee has very little time to make
a selection. <br>
<br>
So that we may properly review all eligible candidates, the
Nominating Committee would greatly appreciate your addressing the
following as soon as practicable. <br>
<ul>
<li>If you are<b> not on this</b> list and were inadvertently left
off, please inform the NomCom immediately.</li>
<li>If you are <b>on the list</b> and wish to be removed - that
is, you do not wish to serve on the 2013 MAG - please inform the
NomCom as soon as possible.</li>
<li>Those indicating an interest in serving on the MAG and wishing
to send supporting documents, or having others send supporting
documents to their nominations, should assure their arrival by
c.o.b. Thursday. This is extremely tight but we must have the
final decision completed by Saturday with nominations to IGF by
January 21.<br>
</li>
</ul>
The preliminary full list of nominees are:<br>
<ol>
<li>Anriette Esterhuysen</li>
<li>Baudouin SCHOMBE </li>
<li>Brenden Kuerbis</li>
