In looking at the submissions on this and an associated thread. There are two issues which seem to be of some concern; How many new names should be submitted to DESA and whether or not those who are already MAG members should be renominated. <br>
On the first issue, seeing we are nominating members to be a part of the 1/3 of members being rotated, and the fact that we have so many qualified people, we should give DESA enough names to make proper choices, so why not submit 7 names.<br>
<br>On the second issue, given that each appointment is for one year, this alone suggests to me that best practice is to renominate each IGC delegate, whether they have been there for a year, or from the start. I do understand that there is an unwritten understanding that barring the extraordinary each MAG member we nominate, we expect them to stay for a minimum of three years. We however should not forget that a critical element of democracy, is that we endorse incumbents based on good performance ....or should.<br>

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

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