<font face="Verdana">That reminds me. I do think that there has been
a great slack in the reporting back from the MAG by selected CS
members to different civil society constituencies, especially the
IGC. It used to be much better earlier. Also, if I remember right,
appllicant nominees from IGC had to give an express undertaking of
regular reporting back from the MAG to the IGC. I think which
should do so this time as well. <br>
<br>
BTW, there was a rather controversial meeting of the MAG during
the IGF Baku. Much less have a report from it from MAG's CS
members, most people even do not know that such a meeting took
place, and that it was rather controversial n many aspects.<br>

<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>

However the fact is that DESA did ask for, to use your words
're-certifying extant members', <br>
<br>
Below is an excerpt from the call for renewal ( <a

"As in previous years, stakeholder groups can resubmit the names
of current MAG members for re-election......"
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">This to me is clearly asking for
recertifying extant members. And I think it is a healthy
practice.... Not that I have anything against any extant member.
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Accordingly, I think extant members,
on their own nomination or of other people, should also be
considered for nomination, as is the express desire of UNDESA.
And this has always been the practice. <br>

<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>
<li>Brenden Kuerbis</li>
<li>Chaitanya Dhareshwar </li>
