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><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br> <br><div><div>On Jan 15, 2013, at 7:32 AM, Thomas Lowenhaupt <<a href="mailto:toml@communisphere.com">toml@communisphere.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <div text="#000000" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> 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.
