<br>
How was the selection for opening ceremony slot made by MAG (or
whoever made it), but that of closing ceremony passed to CS
groups to give nominations for... Isnt is it a bit ad hoc, and I
think civil society should ask questions about ad hoc and
unexplained processes of public institutions..<br>

<br>
I had hoped that one or more of civil society members of MAG,
especially the ones who were either nominated or supported by IGC,
would respond to this simple and direct question.... Both CSTD IGF
improvements group, whose report was ratified by the UN GA, and the
NetMundial's informal outcome document says that stakeholders should
manage their nomination processes, and it would be transparent and
so on... parminder <br>
