<DIV>my personal feeling is not to restrict the nomcom to a particular number.
it doesnt matter if its a little larger than that, and in fact that might be
useful when decisions are made across stakeholder groups as regards geographic
and gender balance.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I am the Chair of the Civil Society Internet Governance
Caucus Nominating Committee charged with selecting names of IGC members to put
forth for selection to the 2013 MAG. 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>
