Here's an email from Chengetai Masango in Geneva about the state
of the MAG nominations.<br>

Not sure why he is saying something contrary to what UNDESA
statement clearly says (and has always said in earlier years) about
renominating names if so desired. In the sense that every MAG is a
fresh appointment for all its members. <br>

P.S. Not sure why the reference to NY is there. Perhaps we're
underrepresented? <br>

<br>
Simply because UNDESA at NY makes the decision..... parminder <br>

HI Thomas
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Civil Society is one of the stakeholder groups that are
most up to date as far as the rotation is concerned.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The majority seem to have been renewed during the last
rotation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think if you send three or four names (to give NY a
choice) that should be more than enough.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best regards </div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> 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>
