<div>Please find below the details of the process by which all Internet Governance Caucus
members are invited to submit nominations to the Civil Society
Coordination Group (CSCG) as part of the elections for the IGF
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) for 2022.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The CSCG exists solely to ensure a
coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making
civil society appointments to outside bodies.</div><div><br></div><div>A
dedicated Nomination Committee (or NomCom) has been set up to
facilitate this process within the CSCG. The NomCom is comprised of one
(1) representative from
our coalition members who responded to a call to revive the NomCom for
the purposes of the 2022 MAG elections, namely the Association for
Progressive
Communications (APC), Just Net Coalition (JNC), and the Internet
Governance Caucus (IGC). You will find all the necessary information
below. <br></div><br><div>The
NomCom have been tasked by the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG)
to run the process of selection and endorsement of civil society
candidates nominated for the IGF MAG selection round.</div></div>
</div><span><div><br></div><div><b>
Information on the process</b><br>
==========================<br>
<br>
The call for nominations is at:<br></div></span><div><a href="https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2022-mag-renewal" target="_blank">https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2022-mag-renewal </a><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Notes on MAG membership</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The MAG is composed of forty (40) members. For the
IGF 2022, half of its members are expected to be renewed. Among the
twenty (20) members the IGF 2022 Call aims to identify 8 members from
governments, 3 from the private sector, 5 from
civil society and 4 from the technical community. Regionally, the
balance among the new members could be: 4 from Africa, 8 from Asia
Pacific, 1 from Eastern Europe, 3 from GRULAC and 4 from WEOG.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Concretely, the
current indication is that the civil society stakeholder group could
have five (5) new members appointed for 2022. These could come from
Africa (2), Asia-Pacific (1) and GRULAC (2) regional groups. They
particularly encourage all nominators to nominate as many candidates
as possible, diversified across stakeholder groups, regions, countries,
gender and age. A careful consideration will be also given to the
countries which historically were not represented
on the MAG, or alternatively were represented only a few times. You can
look at the records for the countries represented on the MAG so far on

this page</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Notes on MAG Chair Renewal </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The renewal of the MAG Chair rotates among
stakeholder groups. So far, the Chairs came from government, technical
community and civil society stakeholder groups.</p><br></div></span><div>We are now calling for nominations. These should be sent to all three Nomcom members below
by COB <u><b>07 September.</b></u>

The selection criteria are the ones listed in the call for candidates, see<br></span>
below. Once the candidates are selected by the NomCom, a member of the
