<font face="Verdana">Thanks for the information, Izumi... (also for
attention of other MAG members)<br>
<br>
THis issue about civil society participation was extensively
discussed on this list, and BestBits, some weeks ago...<br>
<br>
If I remember right, MAG members were specifically requested to do
something and let us know....<br>
<br>
So, well, we as civil society persons did all that we could.....
Not sure what and how did MAG follow up if they at all did...<br>
<br>
Good to let us know why no one really took this issue up despite
repeated requests from members here..<br>
<br>
And a connected issues - can you please tell us how civil society
speakers were selected, and what does MAG members know about
it....<br>
<br>
There was a time when we even used to have a nomcom process for
civil society rep selection, at other times there were less formal
but still some kind of inclusive processes.... It is very
disturbing what have things come to now... No one even knows what
is happening. . <br>

A quick request for CS MAG members: Could you please arrange
for some<br>
transparency in regard to what is going on in regard to
selection of<br>
CS speakers for IGF opening and closing?<br>
