<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Thank you All once again...<br><br></div>This is a very healthy discussion, I love it. <br><br></div><div>I was truly honored to have been in the MAG for the last three years, it was lovely, I have enjoyed it, learnt from it and that is why I made this suggestion in the last MAG meeting and would like to see this considered. <br></div><div><br></div>we can have a very simple approach to this...over the years IGF has consulted with DCAD coordinated by Andrea Saks on issues on accessibility (Needs for persons with disabilities) as concerning venue and accommodation etc for the IGF global events. <br></div><div>we can use the same avenue for the Secretariat to request for one person suggested by the DCAD for this representation- I believe this will give it the credibility that it deserves. <br></div><br></div>We do appreciate the journey that the IGF has taken and the flexibility that the structure allows to accommodate new ideas and suggestions . This would be my approach, because I do not think that this has been brought to the table before ....<br><br>the question is " what would it take for a "permanent seat" within the MAG for whoever may request for it. What is it that the secretariat may need to consider before coming to this conclusion? <br><br></div><div>I hope that this can be posed to the consultation meeting and a clear way forward, I apologize in advance, I may not be able to be online for this meeting as I am involved in the UN-DISABILITY day(3rd Dec) celebrations in my country and I will also be launching a campaign on accessibility on that day. <br><br></div><div>For the MAG members, here. and all those who will attend the meeting, either online or offline ,lets be part of these discussions. <br><br></div><div>thank you all, once again!<br><br></div><div>Kind Regards, <br></div><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><h1 style="margin:0px"><font size="1"><i><span style="font-weight:normal">'Chance Favors the prepared mind'</span></i></font><font><i> </i><span style="font-weight:normal">-<font size="1"> Louis Pasteur</font></span></font><br></h1></div></div></div>

However there are other criteria which the civil society explicitly supports but does not use as a criterium for the elections at the MAG (e.g. dissabilities, youth).
