Just because the processes are happening at the UN doesn't legitimize the lack of transparency and top-down approach. MAG is actually there to consult with the community and not to bring forward their own individual agenda. Otherwise, why would we even need them and why hold so many public consultations? The holy UN could select the sessions. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">De those are great questions.

And I can't find a simple link on IGF website on MAG Chair appointment. We have MAG members there to lessen the transaction costs of participation.

<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>

As you know, the current MAG Chair is Lynn
St Amour, she is ending her term this
year!<br>
<br>
There is a need to have another chair
starting right after IGF Berlin. Was
wondering, maybe we need to discuss the
profile of a good MAG Chair? <br>
<br>
Though we will not choose on this list,
but wanted to share that consultations are
going on within different stakeholder
groups within the MAG, each one of them
being asked to suggest a name (s) to the
IGF Secretariat.<br>
<br>
Just throwing this out here.<br>
