<div>Dear Thomas, </div>

</div>
<div>Just a brief note to inform you (and the rest of NomCom
members) that I do not see my name included in the list. I have
expressed my interest to continue serving in the MAG in 2013. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please find attached the nomination template.</div>

Thank you for that question as it was one we had during the last MAG
NomCom. <br>
<br>
I do believe some clarity was recently added to the situation by
Bill Drake - see below. <br>
<br>
I'd say the NomCom's responsibility is to provide a set of names to
IGF that they may use should they desire to rotate out existing
members. As you are a current MAG members, you need not be concerned
about the current NomCom activities.<br>
<br>
I hope this answers you question satisfactorily.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

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>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bill</div>

<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. 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>
