Thirty five (35) IGC members have been nominated. Our review and selection process would be aided if you would provide some insight into the process you will be following in selecting 2013 MAG members.<br>
<br>We have been advised that DESA might rotate 1/3 of the MAG's 55 members this year, roughly 18 members. That those appointed to the MAG last year are more than likely to remain, and that their reapplication at this point would be unnecessary. <br>
<br>It is expected that more than one civil society organization is likely to provide DESA with MAG nominees. The IGC has over 30 applicants for what looks to be a possible 18 vacant MAG seats. <br><br>The IGC's Nominating Committee members are well aware of the credentials and suitability of our nominees and in the best position to select the cream from amongst them. This would provide DESA with a highly qualified group of nominees from which to choose its MAG appointees. We are prepared to take the difficult task of narrowing down the applicant pool from 35 as appropriate. <br>
<br>We would greatly appreciate your providing some guidance as to the number of nominees from IGC that would most fruitfully meet the needs of DESA.<br><br>Sincerely,<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
