<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Understanding everyone is acting with the best intent on short deadlines: </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I encourage someone close to the process to review the IGC Charter quickly and prepare a brief couple line note on how this fits within the framework.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Or, if it doesn't quite fit and a quick acclamation/affirmation of Deirdre re-stepping up (thanks Deirdre!) is useful, then that could be suggested. (Hopefully not deemed necessary.)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As I recall we have been flexible to accommodate circumstances in past so believe this does not fall outside de facto if not de jure precedents.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But just for procedural clarity...please.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Lee <br>

<div>Thanks Renata and Akinremi Peter for your comments.<br>
<br>
</div>
I do share your opinions Renata, from my point of view.<br>
<br>
</div>
And with regard Wisdom's role, the decision to get a replacement until this is solved, was taken at the CSCG, by the two co-chairs (Richard Hill and Analía Aspis) and with fully support of all the members, and of course, prior information to Wisdom.<br>
<br>
</div>
However, as Arsene said, we will disucss this issue openly after CS MAG process. We do have all the information of this prior SOI and all tracking of the mails.<br>
<br>

Regards,<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
I think Peter has good questions there.<br>
<br>
Also I'd like to address earlier messages on open/closed MAG renewal<br>
process. As CSCG is now getting involved, I see the process as almost<br>
a repeat of the IGF retreat procedures, where CSCG was involved but a<br>
form was also created to send in names. CSCG did its process in a<br>
public manner and I am in favor of supporting openness for<br>
transparency. When the names get to UN Secretariat, the process is<br>
then closed. The UN has a vetting process, it is good that this<br>
exists, but yes, studying how to make this process open is a<br>
challenge. The process of MAG renewal is not only for CS so other<br>
stakeholders would have also to be willing to re-examine process and<br>
this takes a coordination effort I'm not sure can be done.<br>
<br>
It is good that CSCG is now getting involved with the CS process.<br>
<br>
Thanks Arsene and Analia for publicly sharing the info of your intent<br>
to run for MAG renewal and recusing yourselves from CSCG momentarily<br>
for the sake of transparency.<br>
<br>
Thanks Deirdre for volunteering to take over CSCG responsibilities temporarily.<br>
<br>
Time is of the essence since MAG Renewal only goes until 16dec<br>
<br>
Wisdom is someone who has fought CS battles many times but does have<br>
the cap of government on the IGF MAG so, indeed, there is a conflict<br>
when it comes to CSCG but I do hope this is a step away only from CSCG<br>
coordination rather than being a collaborator with civil society as<br>
whole. Civil society needs those willing to collaborate as we are all<br>
volunteers, sometimes overstretched ones.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
