Dear all
Could I suggest that all the names of anyone going up for the MAG from
both current slates (i.e. run by the IGC and being collated through Best
Bits) be posted so that we can inform other networks of who is standing.
Whether they are looking to stand as an IGC nominee or Best Bits nominee
can be noted.
Ongoing, and important discussions about the Best Bits governance
structure need to continue, and as a member of the interim BB Steering
as well as co-Chair of the IRP Coalition I support the need for clarity
here too. But right at this moment as the list and candidates form, it
would be good for anyone else considering standing for the MAG to know
who is currently doing so. If a person is standing in two places could
they nominate which one they are opting for too to save space and time?
Also, I join those affirmations of the work done by all standing MAG
members, in this case from civil society, who are continuing. Thank you
all for the hard and often unrewarded and unrelenting work on this group.
best
MF
