    <p>Dear all</p>
    <p>This is a good moment to share with you all that I have made
      myself available for selection for the position  of MAG chair. My
      understanding of the process is that the Secretariat asked MAG
      members from the different stakeholder groups on the MAG to
      discuss amongst themselves recommendations (no more than three
      recommendations) for the 2020 MAG Chair. The names they forward
      can be from any stakeholder group. The deadline is 30 June. These
      names are then forwarded to the Secretary General's office. <br>
    </p>
    <p>That is all I know. I don't know who the other civil society
      nominees are, but I do know of several good candidates from other
      stakeholder groups. As I am a candidate I don't want to comment on
      the process other than saying that I agree it should be clear and
      as transparent as possible. I am happy to answer any questions
      that any of you have as to why I made myself available, and I will
      share a statement of intent in the next few days. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Warmly</p>
    <p>Anriette<br>
